Opis

Although much has been written about Lyon during the Great Terror of 1793-1794, this is the first detailed study of the four turbulent years which left France's second city marked out for savage repression by the Jacobin Republic.

Recenzje

`... splendid monograph, ... He skilfully explores the social geography of the city, in order to analyse the patterns of neighbourhood solidarity that were expressed in the section assemblies and underpinned political conflict.' Malcolm Crook, British Journal of Eighteenth Century Studies
