Robespierre

The University Press of France along with Fremeaux & Associes present this biography of Maximilien de Robespierre by Herve Leuwers, specialist of the French Revolution, and professor at the University of Lille. Monster or saint, despot or republican martyr? The name of Robespierre resonates and shakes. According to the epochs and convictions of his biographers, Robespierre is erected as a monster or a myth: anecdotes and testimonies are instrumentalized to demonstrate what one thinks of a man, but also to explain how one must be judged. Herve Leuwers returns to historical sources to present Robespierre, the young lawyer of Arras to the major figure of terror, and to discover the character who, for his intransigence and his determination, is also called the Incorruptible.
