This is a bold new history of the sans-culottes and the part they
played in the French Revolution. It tells for the first time the
real story of the name now usually associated with urban violence
and popular politics during the revolutionary period. By doing so,
it also shows how the politics and economics of the revolution can
be combined to form a genuinely historical narrative of its content
and course. To explain how an early eighteenth-century salon
society joke about breeches and urbanity was transformed into a
republican emblem, Sans-Culottes examines contemporary debates
about Ciceronian, Cynic, and Cartesian moral philosophy, as well as
subjects ranging from music and the origins of government to
property and the nature of the human soul. By piecing together this
now forgotten story, Michael Sonenscher opens up new perspectives
on the Enlightenment, eighteenth-century moral and political
philosophy, the thought of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the political
history of the French Revolution itself.
