Mark Steel Speech

I know there are a lot of people here who enjoy Mark Steel's "Vive la Révolution!" so I hope you'll enjoy this. It's a video of him giving a lecture presenting the book, so we get the stand up history of the Revolution actually as stand up!

Eee, thanks for this link! I'd heard him speak a little on the radio, but only in bits and pieces. Great stuff. Even though he attributes a Desmoulins quote to Danton!! *gasp* ...yes, that does seem to be the single point of accuracy that I care about right now ^^;;

I know, I heard that and was like "Ahh! You robbed Camille of his Jesus quote!" But I guess since he'd introduced Danton a little more than Camille and rather than expecting a random American audience to keep all those revolutionaries straight, he just gave the quote to Danton.
