4.0 out of 5 stars
Intriguing and well-researched analysis of the evolution (or de-evolution) of the French Revolutionary concept of legal justice,
This review is from: Revolutionary Justice in Paris, 1789-1790 (Paperback)
Professor Shapiro's book provides a detailed and intriguing and generally convincing analysis of the concept and administration of justice (against political opponents)during the French Revolution. His work demonstrates that those in power were initially influenced by enlightenment thought but that increasing popular pressure led to the later, cruder stages marked by the excesses of the Revolutionary Tribunal. The descriptions of the roles of Brissot de Warville and Lafayette were illuminating.--Melanie Miller |
