You know, Marat really interests me because his personally gets totally ignored when dealing with the French Revolution. I confess I know very little about him personally, though I've always retained a fondness for Marat/Sade for giving him a deeper analysis. I feel he's treated a lot like Saint-Just in that they're both figures that historians seem to have a hard time understanding, so they just become personifications of the Terror and the "bloodthirsty rabble" respectively. Anyway, I'm interested in Marat, what should I look into? Or is there a good cliff notes version out there for a busy college student? ;-)
