Leaders of the French Revolution--Chapter on Saint-Just

[citoyenneclark.livejournal.com]

I've compleated transcribig the chapter on Saint-Just from JM's Thompson's book Leaders of the French Revolution. Here are the links to my journal. Its surprisingly sympathetic to Saint-Just. (Considering Thompson's protege was Norman Hampson, who called Saint-Just a "satanic monster")

Part 1: Concerns his pre-revolution career (or what little of it there was)

Part 2: Concerns Saint-Just's political theories, and compares the "Terror" to other much more violent regimes in French History

Part 3: Concerns Saint-Just's appearence, and the "ideal revolutionary"

Part 4 and 5: Mission to the Rhine, and conclusion to the chapter

Now that the chapter on Saint-Just is done, which chapter would you like to see next? There is: Sieyes, Mirabeau, Lafayette, Brissot, Louvet, Danton, Fabre D'Eglantine, Marat, Robespierre, and Dumourez.

I think my choice would be rather obvious, haha! But seriously, you are INSANE for doing this!

Yeah, that's what my parents say... :)
partly I'm transcribing some chapters, as its not the easiest book to find, and its a way for people who can't find it to read part of it.

And you have my undying respect for that because I know first hand how long and tedious a task like that is. It's highly noble and generous of you!

Thank you so very much for taking the time to transcribe so much text. It is an incredible asset to everyone here, I should think.

I would likewise be interested in the Marat chapter, next.

Thank you so much!! I've had immense trouble finding works on Saint-Just in particular- regardless of the perspective of the author- particularly in the libraries (and my bills are mounting which precludes too many more insane book buying binges) so it's very, very much appreciated. :)

I'd be interested in either Robespierre or Marat next.

Thank you for transcribing! I have no particular preference for whose chapter is next.

Thank you - of course ;)

Since the most appealing chapter for me it's done :), I have no particular preference for the next. Maybe Marat or Robespierre too...
