I get the feeling that most of the sources (the ones relevant to his political career and the French Revolution) are in French anyway, so no loss. Thank you so much for helping me out on that part, though.
I imagine so, especially considering the small number of French Revolution enthusiasts in English-speaking countries. I suspect that has something to do with English literary depictions of Robespierre as a tyrant and the French Revolution in general as an execution party (a la The Scarlet Pimpernel, A Tale of Two Cities, etc)...
Thank you for the list of theorists/philosophers! I really appreciate your help. I'm glad to have found this community.
