This seven-volume facsimile set comprises first-hand accounts of
France in the 1790s. Helen Maria William's letters narrate the fall
of Robespierre in 1794 and her 1798 book on Switzerland comments
sceptically on the necessary coexistence of liberty with peace.
Charlotte West (who, like Williams, celebrated the fall of the
Bastille but was later imprisoned by the Republic) records the
corruption, paranoia and violence of the Terror both in the
provinces and in Paris. All texts, the majority of which have never
been republished, are reproduced in full, augmented by a
substantial general introduction to each set, headnotes, endnotes,
and a consolidated index in the final volume. Selected for their
rarity, the texts are drawn from the unparalleled Chawton House
Library collection; each facsimile page has been digitally cleaned
and enhanced, significantly improving on the quality and legibility
of the original.
