4.0 out of 5 stars
OED of Robespierre,
This review is from: Robespierre (Hardcover)
This is a mammoth book. Enormous! It looks like the Oxford English Dictionary... and there's a lot of infromation here. I wouldn't recommend reading it straight through-- it's a book for browsing. Although it's age (1920s) gives it an oddly antiquated tone, Thompson has written a fair biography of his subjsect, neither demonizing nor cannonizing the Incorruptible (although his assesment is generally favorable). The best thing about this gigantic work, however, is that Thompson has room to quote... extensively. This is where you can find the entire text of his Declaration of Rights, big chunks or speeches, etc. I wouldn't recommend buying it, but it's definitely worth a look in the library.
