Robespierre, monstre ou héros ?

Marion Pouffary
Preface by Hervé Leuwers

Histoire et civilisations

Robespierre's image should not be considered as a homogeneous one-piece block, as can be shown by the study of 19th-century public discourse, in particular that of political speech. So far, such discourse has not drawn the attention of historians, who have focused their research on historiography, literature and the fine arts. An examination of public discourse reveals that in the period between the Revolution and the middle of the 19th century, the black legend of Robespierre separated out into four separate legends, linked in turn to four distinct political currents: conservative/counter-revolutionary, liberal, communist and anarchist. Moreover, in the 1830s a golden legend, so far insufficiently analysed, began to emerge among the most radical republican militants. This interpretative schema, presented in the first two parts of the book, is confirmed by a study of Robespierre's image in parliamentary debates throughout the 19th century, a subject examined in the third part of the book. The schema enables us to understand why, more than two centuries after his death, Robespierre remains at the heart of the debates on the republican heritage.
