Charlotte Robespierre's Memoirs

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

This is the last chapter of Charlotte Robespierre's memoirs themselves--hopefully one that someone will find more interesting than the last--but I since I've also translated the "Justificatory Documents" published at the end of the memoirs (or at least of the edition I have), I'm going to make a separate post to include them. Due to the length of this chapter, it will have to be posted in two parts.

( Chapter Five (Part One) )

( Chapter Five (Part Two) )

Next: "Notes and Justificatory Documents" 

Notes and Justificatory Documents

These are basically the appendices to Charlotte Robespierre's memoirs. Some of them are, admittedly, rather random, but they're mostly fairly interesting. Again, due to length, this post is going to have to have two parts.

( The first six... )

 
I am sincerely sorry for my poor translation of the poetry, by the way; I tried to make it rhyme as much as possible, but in the end I just gave up. Or rather, I figured it was better to be accurate than poetic, per se, since it would be impossible to appraise the merit--or lack thereof--of any poem in translation in any case.

Notes and Justificatory Documents once more

( ...And the last six. )

If anyone shows any interest I might also post my translation of Élisabeth Le Bas's memoirs...
