  • The Calendar in Revolutionary France : Perceptions of Time in Literature, Culture, Politics / Sanja Perovic
    THE C A LENDA R IN REVOLUTIONARY FRANCE One of the most unusual decisions of the leaders of the French Revolution – and one that had immense practical as well as symbolic impact – was to abandon customarily accepted ways of calculating date and time to create a revolutionary calendar. The experiment lasted from 1793 to 1805 and prompted all sorts of questions about the nature of time, ways of measuring it and its relationship to indi- vidual, community, communication and creative life. This study traces the course of the revolutionary calendar, from its cultural ori- gins to its decline and fall. Tracing the parallel stories of the calen- dar and the literary genius of its creator, Sylvain Maréchal, from the Enlightenment to the Napoleonic era, Sanja Perovic reconsiders the status of the French Revolution as the purported ‘origin’ of modern- ity, the modern experience of time and the relationship between the imagination and political action. sanja perovic is Lecturer in the French Department at King’s College London.

  • The Reign of Terror That Arises out of the Dictatorship - the Committee of Public Safety - Marat, Robespierre, Danton and Louis St
    The following quote is from a lecture by: Steven Kreis - READ THIS CLOSELY! - Then read the notes from below. • Table of Contents | The History Guide | Feedback | copyright © 1998 [email protected] "With all this now behind us, what did the Revolution accomplish? First, the Revolution weakened the political influence and leadership of the aristocracy. The aristocrats lost their privileges based on birth because from this point on, privilege would now be based on property and wealth. As the sans-culottes quickly realized, one evil simply replaced another. Second, because careers were open to talent, the bourgeoisie had access to the highest positions in the state. In fact, throughout the 19 th century, the French state was a bourgeois state which echoed middle-class needs and values. Third, the Revolution transformed the dynastic state of the ancien regime into the modern state (natural, liberal, secular and rational). The state was no longer just a federation of provinces, it was not the private property of the king. Instead, the state now belonged to the people. The individual, formerly a subject in the old order, was now a citizen, with specific rights as well as duties. Lastly, the Revolution managed to give practical application to the ideas of the philosophes – equality before the law, trial by jury, the freedom of religion, speech and the press. In the 19 th century, all these ideas led to the quickening pace of reform. And in that century, the voices of the sans-culottes would be heard once more. All these developments were accelerated by the Industrial Revolution itself.

  • The Revolutionary Career of François Gérard By
    ON SHIFTING GROUND: THE REVOLUTIONARY CAREER OF FRANÇOIS GÉRARD BY JENNIFER MARIE LANGWORTHY DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor David O’Brien, Chair Associate Professor Lisa Rosenthal Associate Professor Oscar Vázquez Assistant Professor Jennifer Greenhill ii ii Abstract This dissertation examines the career of François-Pascal-Simon Gérard (1770- 1837) from its beginnings in the mid-1780s through the end of the French Revolution and provides a more complete understanding of Gérard as a key artist of the Revolutionary decade. A goal of this study is to set aside long-standing assumptions concerning Gérard’s political convictions and doubts about his artistic originality in order to shed light on Gérard’s critical contributions to Revolutionary art, and in particular, to the Davidian school. I demonstrate that, in the 1790s, Gérard moved away from the subjects and styles forged in Jacques-Louis David’s (1748-1825) studio. Most significantly, he reinvented classicism as a vehicle for moderate political themes, he reintroduced apolitical, sexualized imagery into classicism, and he established an artistic practice in which the serious business of the history painter was thoroughly integrated with that of the high-society portraitist. To do this, Gérard developed new modes of classicism, experimented with the emergent subject matter of Romanticism, and and explored issues of gender and sexuality in uncommon ways. During the tumultuous decade of the Revolution, when political consensus was at best fleeting and the traditional institutions of the French art world faltered, Gérard’s political and artistic flexibility allowed him not only to escape many of the consequences suffered by politically committed artists, but also eventually to thrive as a leading painter of the society of the late Directory.

  • Les Noms De Jour Du Calendrier Republicain Les
    LES NOMS DE JOUR DU CALENDRIER REPUBLICAIN Les noms associés aux jours du calendrier républicain ont été choisis par le poète Philippe François Nazaire Fabre, dit Fabre d'Eglantine (1750-1794), parmi les noms de fleurs, d'arbres, de plantes diverses, d'animaux et d'outils agricoles, comme il s'était inspiré, pour les noms des mois, du rythme des saisons et des événements naturels qui y sont associés : ainsi l'année républicaine commence avec le mois de vendémiaire, mois des vendanges, correspondant à la période du 22 septembre au 21 octobre. Les prénoms de la période révolutionnaire que l'on peut rencontrer dans les états civils sont issus pour certains du calendrier, mais davantage de la période révolutionnaire même, (on a l'exemple de "Montagnarde" pour une fille), avec des victoires telles que Valmy, ou des personnages politiques, tels que Barras. L'Antiquité fut également une source de prénoms : Brutus, César, Agricola, etc. Le 11 germinal an XI (1er avril 1803) une nouvelle loi organise l'utilisation des prénoms : seuls ceux contenus dans le calendrier grégorien ou ceux de personnages historiques peuvent être portés, les prénoms inscrits au calendrier républicain sont interdits.

  • 'Robbers, Muddlers, Bastards and Bankrupts?': a Collective Look at the Thermidorians
    H-France Salon Volume 11 (2019) Page 1 H-France Salon Volume 11, 1, #15 “Robbers, Muddlers, Bastards, and Bankrupts?” A Collective Look at the Thermidorians Mette Harder SUNY Oneonta Who were the Thermidorians? The 1964 book jacket of Lefebvre’s posthumously translated The Thermidorians & The Directory: Two Phases of the French Revolution (Random House) presents them in a quaint group portrait: Several Conventionnels stand assembled around a table at the Tuileries Palace with a direct view of the Place de la Révolution.1 Outside – they have their backs turned to it – the guillotine is busy dispatching Maximilien Robespierre and his alleged accomplices. Inside, those newly empowered by his death are studiously ignoring the nasty business. They are already hard at work “ending the Terror”, as Bronislaw Baczko put it.2 Middle-aged, dressed conservatively as if it were still, or again, 1789, they look rather pleased with themselves. With their quills and their ink wells, surrounded by paperwork, the Thermidorians, as portrayed here, are executors of, not former contributors to, “the Terror.” Their number, five, also diverts from their past and looks to the future: to the Constitution that will become their major achievement, and to the Directory that will provide some, though not all of them, with continued political careers. Instead of the “real” Thermidorians, this mid-century cover of Lefebvre’s classic work shows a fictionalized version of a curious group of revolutionaries who dominated the last fifteen months of the Convention.
