Résumé

Contributions croisées sur l'expérience individuelle et collective de la Révolution française et les répercussions de cet événement à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du pays. ©Electre 2024

Recent debates around the French Revolution have questioned the need for an overall paradigm of the interpretation, as the certainties underpinning both « classic » and « revisionist » views have faded. In Experiencing the French Revolution authors argue against a single « paradigm quest », in favour of a plurality of approaches to underscore the diverse way in which the turbulent changes of late eighteenth-century France can be explored.

From broad cultural trends to very personal trajectories, a team of experts offers fresh perspectives on the individual and collective experience of Revolution, both within and outside France. Using a range of methodologies, including biographical studies of key individuals and groups, archival studies of structures and institutions, and new sources available from digital humanities archives, contributors provide:

  • new insights into the clandestine book trade of pre-revolutionary France, and the surprising effectiveness of Louis XVI's state control
  • a reappraisal of Robespierre, whose opinions were shaped and transformed by years of upheaval
  • an exploration of how revolutionary situations inspired both dissent and discipline within the new citizen armies
  • an analysis of the revolutionary shockwaves felt beyond France, and how its currents were exploited for national political ends in Belgium, England and Wales.

« An outstanding group of scholars at the cutting edge of current work on the seminal political upheaval of modern history demonstrates that attempts to reinvent overarching orthodoxies will always falter in the face of fresh empirical research. »
William Doyle, University of Bristol
