  • Fair Shares for All
    FAIR SHARES FOR ALL JACOBIN EGALITARIANISM IN PRACT ICE JEAN-PIERRE GROSS This study explores the egalitarian policies pursued in the provinces during the radical phase of the French Revolution, but moves away from the habit of looking at such issues in terms of the Terror alone. It challenges revisionist readings of Jacobinism that dwell on its totalitarian potential or portray it as dangerously Utopian. The mainstream Jacobin agenda held out the promise of 'fair shares' and equal opportunities for all in a private-ownership market economy. It sought to achieve social justice without jeopardising human rights and tended thus to complement, rather than undermine, the liberal, individualist programme of the Revolution. The book stresses the relevance of the 'Enlightenment legacy', the close affinities between Girondins and Montagnards, the key role played by many lesser-known figures and the moral ascendancy of Robespierre. It reassesses the basic social and economic issues at stake in the Revolution, which cannot be adequately understood solely in terms of political discourse. Past and Present Publications Fair shares for all Past and Present Publications General Editor: JOANNA INNES, Somerville College, Oxford Past and Present Publications comprise books similar in character to the articles in the journal Past and Present. Whether the volumes in the series are collections of essays - some previously published, others new studies - or mono- graphs, they encompass a wide variety of scholarly and original works primarily concerned with social, economic and cultural changes, and their causes and consequences. They will appeal to both specialists and non-specialists and will endeavour to communicate the results of historical and allied research in readable and lively form.

  • 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.

  • Chapter Thirty-Six the Beginnings of Modernity in Europe and America
    Chapter Thirty-six The Beginnings of Modernity in Europe and America Although the decisive shift from Christendom to modern civilization is rightly located in the French Revolution and the Napoleonic conquests, something important was also contributed by the English colonies in North America and by their successful revolt from Britain. This may be somewhat surprising, because in the eighteenth century most of the colonists - as Patricia Bonomi has argued - continued to be very religious.1 The Pilgrims who had settled in Massachusetts were much more devout than the general population in either England or continental Europe. Colonial piety persisted for a very long time and was frequently noted by newcomers from Britain and Europe. We have seen (at the end of Chapter 34) how the Great Awakening stirred many of the colonists in the 1730s and 1740s. Bonomi prefaced her book with the observation that church steeples dominated the skyline of every colonial city and town, and that for everyone who lived there the passing of the hours was announced by church bells. She went on to generalize that “in eighteenth-century America - in city, village, and countryside - the idiom of religion penetrated all discourse, underlay all thought, marked all observances, gave meaning to every public and private crisis.”2 Established churches and religious tolerance in the English colonies in America Devout though it was, colonial America was also - for a variety of reasons - an experiment in religious freedom. The ideal of religious freedom grew slowly, before bursting into bloom in 1776. The Pilgrims had left England in order to escape from the coercion to worship God according to Anglican rules.

  • 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.
