Although historians of the French Revolution have paid it little
attention, the French navy provides a striking illustration of the
impact of the new ideology of Popular Sovereignty. This book
examines the navy's involvement in political conflict from 1789 to
1794 and charts the evolution of a struggle between opposing
definitions of authority in France. The fleet depended on the
support of executive power. In 1789 royal government collapsed in
the face of defiance from the National Assembly, but Popular
Sovereignty was not confined to the legislature. The struggle
between competing claims to represent the National Will lay behind
the fleet's surrender at Toulon in 1793 and the mutiny at Quiberon
Bay. Sent to Brest to save the Republic's navy, Jeanbon Saint-Andre
sought to restrict Popular Sovereignty in the context of the
Terror. Thus this 1995 study presents a revisionist interpretation
of the nature of revolutionary politics.
