The Life and Legacy of Maximilien Robespierre

Editors Charles River

Summary

In many ways it is fitting that Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794) is one of the best known figures of the French Revolution, if not its most famous. The early years of the Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. Few were as vocal in their support of Enlightenment ideals as Robespierre, who was heavily versed in Rousseau and Montesquieu, a champion of the bourgeoise, and an advocate of human rights who opposed both slavery and the death penalty.     
 
But history remembers the French Revolution in a starkly different way, as the same leaders who sought a more democratic system while out of power devolved into establishing an incredibly repressive tyranny of their own once they acquired it. For that reason, the Reign of Terror became the most memorable aspect of the Revolution, and at the head of it all was Robespierre, whose position on the Committee of Public Safety made him the Reign of Terror’s instrumental figure, until he himself became a victim of the Revolution’s extremism.
 
Robespierre has remained one of the Revolution’s most controversial figures, an enigma in both life and death. Known as “The Incorruptible” to supporters and a bloodthirsty dictator to his opponents, what all could agree on was that he was a vital figure during one of history’s most momentous events. French Legends: The Life and Legacy of Maximilien Robespierre looks at the life and legacy of one of history’s most famous revolutionaries, explaining his role in the French Revolution and analyzing his legacy. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Robespierre like you never have before, in no time at all.

Megan Devine, a psychotherapist, had been trying to help people deal with grief for a decade before suddenly losing her partner and realizing that her understanding of grief was broken. In It’s OK That You’re Not OK (2017), she re-examines the often chaotic process of grief, based on extensive research and her own experience. Building on her new understanding, Devine offers reassurance and guidance for anyone who is grieving and those who want to help them.

Earwitness - A Search for Sonic...

Ed Garland

In his twenties, Ed Garland came close to suicide but later discovered reading to help him cope with hearing loss and tinnitus. In this unique blend of memoir and literary criticism, right at the cutting edge of research drawing on both the literary and the medical worlds, the author reveals his own journey – through music then fiction – towards an understanding of sonic loss and, ultimately, towards healing. A genre-busting mix of literary criticism, sound studies and memoir, the essays explore what fictional sonic experiences can tell us about sound in everyday life. Written with humorous honesty about the ups and downs – mostly downs – of a young man's mental health, this is a thoughtful and original exploration of recovey, and of literature's ability to challenge preconceptions.
The English-language fiction classics of Wales explored include the work of Margiad Evans, Bernice Rubens, and Deborah Kay Davies. The international titles are by Annie Proulx and Samuel Beckett. Earwitness amplifies the rich connections between literature, auditory perception and mental wellbeing.
