  • Making a New World David and the Revolution
    Making a New World David and the Revolution 'Never was any such event so inevitable yet so completely unforeseen', was how the great historian Alexis de Tocqueville characterized the coming of the French Revolution. From a distance of more than two hundred years, we can see that the Revolution was the result of a series of social, economic and political pressures which, though manageable in themselves, had the cumulative effect of toppling the monarchy and chang- ing the course of French and European history. By the mid-1780s the whole framework of the ancien regime seemed close to breakdown. As a legacy of its expensive involvement in the American War of Independence (1778-83), 70 Let's Hope that France was facing bankruptcy and the government was forced this Game Ends Soon, to borrow more and more money to cover its deficits. The 1789 . Coloured public was also aware of how the lavish and extravagant engraving ; 36-5 - 24cm, expenditure of the court added to the nation's debts, and they 141e" 9 1 zin were outraged at the waste. Tensions also existed between the aristocracy and the emerging middle classes, with the latter group trying hard to gain social acceptance and a rise in their influence and status . Of course these issues of politics and class were of little importance to the poor, the vast majority of whom lived in degradation and misery trying to scratch a living from the land. They laid the blame for their misfortunes squarely at the feet of the Church and the aristocracy which claimed crip- pling tithes and feudal dues (70).

  • Art As Revolutionary Propaganda in David's the Death of Marat
    H. SPENCER BEAUMONT Art as Revolutionary Propaganda in David’s The Death of Marat PHYSICIAN, SCIENTIST, POLITICAL PHILOSOPHER, journalist, diseased misanthrope, paranoid, regicide, inciter of mass murder – Jean-Paul Marat shed his skin several times before discovering a talent for fanaticism. By mid-1790, however, anyone whose revolutionary fervor did not burn as ferociously as his was a reactionary who must be eliminated. His newspaper, ironically called L’Ami du Peuple (The Friend of the People), was a fiery pulpit of revolutionary propaganda, his sacred podium for the denunciation of the people’s enemies. While belonging to no political party himself, Marat led the Jacobin assault against the nobility, saying that Louis XVI’s death would be good for the people. He also used his paper to blast the Girodin party, portraying them as foes of republicanism. His greatest contribution to the French Revolution still awaited, however. In the summer heat of 1793, Marat’s assassination set the stage for his ultimate metamorphosis. The catalyst of this transfiguration was a work of revolutionary art, the greatest tableau of one of France’s most celebrated painters, War, Literature & the Arts: an international journal of the humanities / Volume 30 / 2018 Jacques-Louis David. Poignantly, his triumph would also prove his undoing. The masterpiece that caused viewers to swoon at its unveiling eventually precipitated the exile of its creator in 1814. At his death in 1825, only David’s heart was permitted burial in France. His body was laid to rest in Brussels and his infamous painting, The Death of Marat, had been kept in seclusion for 30 years, viewable by appointment only.

  • Transgressive Feminism, Popular Biography, and the 'Tragical Deaths of Beautiful Females'
    Heroic Women Found: Transgressive Feminism, Popular Biography, and the 'Tragical Deaths of Beautiful Females' DANIEL A. COHEN N AN American account published in 1847, Madame Roland was portrayed as an 'admirable woman, the heroine of the IFrench revolution, and the martyr of liberty.' When her hus- band, a prominent French intellectual and political officeholder, was arrested during the Reign of Terror of the early 1790s, she 'performed a masculine part' and 'fiew to the convention to de- fend her husband.' Condemned to death by the revolutionaries, 'she traversed Paris, amidst the insults of the populace, and re- ceived death with heroic firmness,' even seeming to experience 'pleasure' in making the ultimate 'sacrifice to her country.' Pos- sessing a "'republican soul"' and speaking '"with the fteedom and firmness of a Napoleon,"' Madame Roland conftonted her exe- cutioners with courage, declaring, '"O liberty! what crimes are committed in thy name!'"' An earlier version of this essay was delivered as a public lecture at Rice University in Feb- ruary 1999; the author would like to thank those in attendance for their questions, com- ments, and suggestions. He is also grateful to Elizabeth Bussiere, Morris L. Cohen, Catherine Nickerson, and Caroline F. Sloat for their advice, criticism, and encouragement, and to Florida Intemational University and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foun- dation for their support of his scholarship. I.
