For those who read French and for those who don't

The heritage is still alive. Articles on revolutionaries and other people somehow related to the French revolution, including Marat, Brissot, Hérault de Séchelles, Roux, Couthon, Saint-Just,  Hébert, Prieur, Choderlos de Laclos, Sade, Toussaint Louverture (the leader of Haitian revolution and anti-slavery movement, the so-called black jacobin), David, Olympe de Gouges and many others. 

Our fellow-revolutionary Estellacat has kindly volunteered to translate any of these articles to English for those who can't read French. Just express your wish in a comment and she will do it for us.

And for those who can't read French...

I volunteer to translate any articles that any of you find particularly interesting (though not all of them--unfortunately, I don't have the time for that).

Well, that's what I call virtue and revolutionary enthusiasm! Brava, citoyenne :-)

Thank you. I do my best. XD;

I(, too,) applaud this! :D (though I can read French passably well, and look upon this collection as as good an opportunity for practice as they come)

Thank you. Good luck with that!

I'm surprised no one has responded to my offer. Perhaps it's the title of the original post that puts them off?

Re: And for those who can't read French...

Can be. Also, it's weekend. But I will change the original post and include your offer right now.

You have a point. Still, you never know, so thanks for changing the original.

I'm a little late in responding to this, but...I'd be happy to have a translation of the ones about Couthon, Prieur, and Saint-Just. If you only have time to get to one or two, that's fine - the schoolwork is probably starting to pour in right about now, so I understand if you're busy!

Re: And for those who can't read French...

Of course I'll translate them; I wouldn't have offered if I had no time.

Couldn't resist reading the one about Sade. It is interesting to think about how absolutely shocking his atheism must have been back then.

Looks interesting. When I'm not being incredibly lazy, I will have to read them.
