From the fall of the Bastille in 1789 to the coming of Napoleon ten
years later, the commemoration of the dead was a recurring theme
during the French Revolution. Based on extensive research across a
wide range of sources, this book is the first comprehensive study
of the cultural politics of commemoration in Revolutionary France.
It examines what remembrance meant to the people who staged and
attended ceremonies, raised monuments, listened to speeches and
purchased souvenirs in memory of the Revolution's dead. It explores
the political purposes these commemorations served and the
conflicts they gave rise to while also examining the cultural
traditions they drew upon. Above all, it asks what private ends did
the Revolution's rites of memory serve? What consolation did
commemoration bring to those the dead left behind, and what
conflicts did this relationship between the public and the private
dimensions of remembrance give rise to?
