Hello all :D

I'm doing my coursework on the French Revolution--- the sanscullotte's role in the Terror, to be precise--- and I'm actually enjoying it an obscene amount. Really, my teacher yesterday was like 'this isn't your thesis, it's not your baby'  which reveals the extent to which I like reading Robespierre. 

But, anyway, can anyone lead me to some of Marat's work from L'Ami du Peuple etc. (or anything from 1792-4?). The only one I can seem to find is on marxists.org (surprise, surprise) and I need to analyse his language....Anything particularly angry or radical-ish is good. 

Thanks :)

Thoughts on The Terror by David Andress~




I am about 1/4 of the way through the book, and I must say that it is quite good so far. Any thought?

Camille Desmoulins??

While writing a paper on fashion caricature in the French Revolution, I ran across this image of Camille Desmoulins by an English engraver named Richard Newton.  It was published on June 10, 1795.  This is the watercolor and ink version of an engraving that is captioned "DESMOULINS and LUCILE.  A COPY of the following LETTER from the celebrated CAMILLE DESMOULINS to his WIFE, has lately been published in PARIS.  It was found among his Papers."

I guess death really does do great things for your image.

( Wow, Camille, you've changed... )
