Robespierre and the Festival of the Supreme Being provides an
exciting new study of an important event in the French Revolution
and a defining moment in the career of its principal actor,
Maximilien Robespierre, the Festival of the Supreme Being. This day
of national celebration was held to inaugurate the new state
religion, the Cult of the Supreme Being, and whilst traditionally
it has been dismissed as a compulsory political event, this book
redefines its importance as a hugely popular national event.
Hitherto unused or disregarded source material is used to offer new
perspective to the national reaction to Robespierre's creation of
the Festival and of his search for a new republican morality. It is
the first ever detailed study in English of this area of French
Revolutionary history, the first in any language since 1988 and
will be welcomed by scholars and students of this period. -- .
