From Deficit to Deluge takes stock of shifts in scholarly investigation of the origins of French Revolution. During the last decade, scholars have moved beyond ""revisionist"" historians of the 1970's, who highlighted the monarchy's degeneration into despotism, to explore related conflicts in the realms of finance, social relations, religion, diplomacy, the Enlightenment, and colonial policy. In this book, seven established authorities explore some of these critical intersections, and together they make clear the role that unresolved tensions in these realms played in the essentially...

Après l'élan apporté par la commémoration de la Révolution française, à savoir la multiplication des recherches individuelles et le foisonnement des travaux historiques collectifs, ce livre qui reproduit les communications du colloque international qui s'est tenu à l'Université de Provence, dans le cadre de la Maison méditerranéenne des Sciences de l'Homme et de l'UMR Telemme, en octobre 2001, apporte une contribution scientifique essentielle. En effet, plus d'une décennie après le Bicentenaire de 1789, cette rencontre résolument internationale et plurielle s'imposait. Une trentaine d'historiens ont, ainsi, confronté sources documentaires et problématiques, à la fois aux héritages historiques et aux passions nouvelles, autour de plusieurs thématiques majeures (Économie, Société, Politique, Culture, Femmes et Images). Gageons, après la réussite du colloque, du succès de ce livre auprès des générations nouvelles de chercheurs et citoyens du monde.

The great romance and fear of bloody revolution--strange blend of idealism and terror--have been superseded by blind faith in the bloodless expansion of human rights and global capitalism. Flying in the face of history, violence is dismissed as rare, immoral, and counterproductive. Arguing against this pervasive wishful thinking, the distinguished historian Arno J. Mayer revisits the two most tumultuous and influential revolutions of modern times: the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917. Although these two upheavals arose in different environments, they followed similar courses. The thought and language of Enlightenment France were the glories of western civilization; those of tsarist Russia's intelligentsia were on its margins. Both revolutions began as revolts vowed to fight unreason, injustice, and inequality; both swept away old regimes and defied established religions in societies that were 85% peasant and illiterate; both entailed the terrifying return of repressed vengeance. Contrary to prevalent belief, Mayer argues, ideologies and personalities did not control events. Rather, the tide of violence overwhelmed the political actors who assumed power and were rudderless. Even the best plans could not stem the chaos that at once benefited and swallowed them. Mayer argues that we have ignored an essential part of all revolutions: the resistances to revolution, both domestic and foreign, which help fuel the spiral of terror. In his sweeping yet close comparison of the world's two transnational revolutions, Mayer follows their unfolding--from the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Bolshevik Declaration of the Rights of the Toiling and Exploited Masses; the escalation of the initial violence into the reign of terror of 1793-95 and of 1918-21; the dismemberment of the hegemonic churches and religion of both societies; the "externalization" of the terror through the Napoleonic wars; and its "internalization" in Soviet Russia in the form of Stalin's "Terror in One Country." Making critical use of theory, old and new, Mayer breaks through unexamined assumptions and prevailing debates about the attributes of these particular revolutions to raise broader and more disturbing questions about the nature of revolutionary violence attending new foundations.

1989, les Français sont invités à commémorer le Bicentenaire de la Révolution française. Ni les conflits de mémoire, ni les débats historiographiques ne sont apaisés ; la Révolution semble toujours cette histoire qui divise. Pourtant, cette commémoration a suscité la levée d’un geste presque général allant de la modeste plantation d’un arbre « pour la liberté » à des spectacles ambitieux qui mobilisèrent les énergies de toute une commune. Ce livre, appuyé sur des enquêtes quantitatives et qualitatives, permet de quitter le champ des grands discours nationaux pour entrer dans l’intimité des pratiques et de leur polysémie. Il analyse les scènes éclatées de cette commémoration qui sont autant de témoignages sur la façon dont se construisent aujourd’hui des identités collectives, sociales et territoriales. Il déplace l’angle d’observation de ce qui se dit vers ce qui se fait, des discours nationaux vers les gestes locaux, pour nourrir une étude des pratiques sociales qui se nouent dans l’évocation de l’histoire et l’appel à la mémoire.

In his examination of the ways in which theatre participates in the ongoing representations of and debates about the past, Freddie Rokem concentrates on the ways in which theatre after World War II has presented different aspects of the French Revolution and the Holocaust, showing us that by "performing history" actors bring the historical past and the theatrical present together.

The French Revolution sparked an ideological debate which also brought Britain to the brink of revolution in the 1790s. Just as radicals wrote 'Jacobin' fiction, so the fear of rebellion prompted conservatives to respond with novels of their own; indeed, these soon outnumbered the Jacobin novels. This was the first survey of the full range of conservative novels produced in Britain during the 1790s and early 1800s. M. O. Grenby examines the strategies used by conservatives in their fiction, thus shedding new light on how the anti-Jacobin campaign was understood and organised in Britain. Chapters cover the representation of revolution and rebellion, the attack on the 'new philosophy' of radicals such as Godwin and Wollstonecraft, and the way in which hierarchy is defended in these novels. Grenby's book offers an insight into the society which produced and consumed anti-Jacobin novels, and presents a case for reexamining these neglected texts.
