As in a number of France's major cities, civil war erupted in Lyon
in the summer of 1793, ultimately leading to a siege of the city
and a wave of mass executions. Using Lyon as a lens for
understanding the politics of revolutionary France, this book
reveals the widespread enthusiasm for judicial change in Lyon at
the time of the Revolution, as well as the conflicts that ensued
between elected magistrates in the face of radical democratization.
Julie Patricia Johnson's investigation of these developments during
the bloodiest years of the Revolution offers powerful insights into
the passions and the struggles of ordinary people during an
extraordinary time.
