Sinossi
Excerpt from Symbol and Satire in the French Revolution
More interesting in their wealth of symbols than even the speeches and writings of the time are the pictorial satires and allegories, great numbers of which have been preserved. T hey are documents of real historical importance and have hitherto been much neglected. They reveal the spirit of the time as no mere printed words could ever do. They are products of this special revolution, for nothing like them had ever been known before. They filled a real need, for they appealed even to the illiterate; and three fourths of the population of France at that time could neither read nor write. They show us the Revolution as it was shown to the common man of the period.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and insightful look at the French Revolution through the lens of its visual culture. The author delves into the world of satirical cartoons, allegories, and emblems that flourished during this tumultuous period, revealing how these often overlooked visual forms played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and driving the course of events. The book illuminates how symbols such as the Cap of Liberty, the scales of Justice, and the bundle of fagots were used to communicate complex political ideas in a way that resonated with both literate and illiterate audiences. The author explores the strategic use of these images as tools of propaganda, revealing how artists and political factions used cartoons to mobilize public support, incite rebellion, and vilify opponents. By examining the cartoons themselves alongside primary source documents such as speeches, letters, and official records, the author offers a rich and nuanced account of the Revolution's key figures, events, and social dynamics. The book delves into the lives of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and prominent revolutionaries such as Robespierre and Marat, and provides a compelling narrative of the revolution's progression from the early calls for reform to the Reign of Terror. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on the French Revolution, highlighting the power of visual communication and the intricate interplay between words and images in shaping the course of history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
