I've just been in the British Library looking through Marat's Chains of Slavery. I have to confess I'd never properly read any Marat before, what with the iffy French it would have to be a very slow process. However I can get around that with this work because it's in English (that was considerate of him!), published for a British audience in 1774. I didn't have much time, nor did I have a laptop, but I did manage to copy out a few pages, which deal with the use of writing against tyranny. Oh, and did I mention this man is brilliant? My love is growing at an alarming rate.

EDIT. And this is why you should not do these things in a hurry. Have tried to fix the several typos and added the footnote which I forgot to type up in the first place. Apologies.

trf_chan sort of invited me to join, after I suggested to invade the community. ;D

Sooo, I'll introduce myself now. I am an university student in history and I am also interested in philosophy and art. I therefore quite appreciate to discuss of the Enlightenment and Neoclassical Art. I thought I would be able to share, here, some of the things I have about the French Revolution, especially on Saint-Just, Robespierre, David and Le Bas -- more or less in that order, since I do have a slight ~~obsession~~ preference for Saint-Just, I must admit...

As for the LJ life, I am one of the maintainers of

sexandthecomite, dedicated for slash and het fiction though we didn't really get any het yet, and the (half-dead) Saint-Just's community,

sieclesetcieux. I wrote some fics too, though it's been some time since I've done it now.

Being from Québec, I speak French, and what I get and read are mostly books and articles written in French, so I especially post my stuff in French. I'm not so very good at translating, but I can try reviews from what I read. :D

( And since I'm not entirely posting for nothing, I bring some links. )
