The French Revolution: A History in Documents explores the rapidly
evolving political culture of the French Revolution through
first-hand accounts of the revolutionary (and counterrevolutionary)
actors themselves. It demonstrates how radical Enlightenment
philosophy fused with a governmental crisis to create a moment of
new political possibilities unlike any the world had previously
seen. In so doing, the French and their allies generated a template
for revolutionary possibility from which virtually all subsequent
political movements - liberalism, abolitionism, socialism,
anarchism, conservatism, feminism and human rights included -
derived inspiration. As well as providing an invaluable general
introduction, vital contextual notes and thematic bibliographies,
Micah Alpaugh selects a fascinating range of pieces, drawing on
Parisian, provincial, colonial, and even international voices. From
Enlightened dissent to apologias for terror, from declarations of
human rights to accounts of slave rebellions, from passionate
arguments for democratization to the authoritarian pronouncements
of Napoleonic rule, this book presents the French Revolution's
evolution in all its awesome complexity. In addition to classic
texts, Alpaugh includes many lesser-known sources, a number of
which are translated into English here for the first time. This
unique collection of 13 visual sources and over 90 documents,
incorporating perspectives from across class, gender, race and
nationality, provides you with insights into the fervent debates,
pronouncements and proposals that spawned modern politics.
