Recenzii

[A]n outstanding, often brilliant, collection which deserves recognition and frequent consultation for its refreshing insights into the myriad worlds of revolutionary experience.
I have never seen such an edited volume before. Every chapter offers original scholarship and new methodological approaches, which could help any student of history read their sources with fresh eyes. This book not only teaches social and cultural history but also instructs students how to become better historians. I can offer no greater praise than the fact that I am excited to use this book in my French Revolution classes, and it also helped me to reframe my own research projects.
With this engaging collection, Mette Harder and Jennifer Ngaire Heuer take distance from notions of the French Revolution as an engine of abstract change to explore how that event shaped individual lives and to examine how seemingly private choices intersected with broad social, political, and cultural movements.
Life in Revolutionary France revivifies the social history of the French revolution. Mette Harder and Jennifer Ngaire Heuer's fine team of experienced and emergent scholars offer bright, insightful coverage of topics that range from religion to revolutionary justice, from prisons to prostitution, from émigrés to Caribbean slaves, from armies to waxworks, from crime to diet - and much besides.
Ranging from peasant resisters and Caribbean prisoners of war to prostitutes and the orphaned children of executed revolutionary leaders, this remarkably original collection opens dramatic new perspectives on the French Revolution. The ordinary is shown to be extraordinarily fascinating when lives are transformed by dramatic events. Anyone interested in the meaning of revolution will want to read these essays.
The anthology is therefore an overall highly readable, inspiring and important contribution to the research debate.
