Louis Sébastien Mercier

Revolution and Reform in Eighteenth-Century Paris

Beschreibung

This book examines Louis Sébastien Mercier’s impassioned representations of social injustice in Paris at the end of the eighteenth century. Mercier’s urban chronicles argue that society must enact Enlightenment values to educate the populace as a whole; otherwise, representative democracy and social equity are impossible to sustain, and widespread fanaticism is impossible to prevent.
