شمع و گیوتین: انقلاب و عدالت در لیون، ۱۷۸۹-۱۷۹۳

"As in a number of France's major cities, civil war erupted in Lyon in the summer of 1793, ultimately leading to a siege of the city and a wave of mass executions. Using Lyon as a lens for understanding the politics of revolutionary France, this book reveals the widespread enthusiasm for judicial change in Lyon at the time of the Revolution, as well as the conflicts that ensued between elected magistrates in the face of radical democratization. Julie Patricia Johnson's investigation of these developments during the bloodiest years of the Revolution offers powerful insights into the passions and the struggles of ordinary people during an extraordinary time"-- Provided by publisher Contents Illustrations Acknowledgements Introduction Part I Inspirations Chapter 1 The Most Polished Town Chapter 2 Life in the Country Chapter 3 Crises and Revolution Chapter 4 The Candle Flares Part II Aspirations Chapter 5 Patriots and Traitors Chapter 6 ‘A Lively Political Milieu’ in Lyon Chapter 7 New Judges Chapter 8 The First Republic Part III Retributions Chapter 9 Trials and Emotions Chapter 10 Prison Wars Chapter 11 Ousting of the Jacobins Chapter 12 Bastille Day, 1793 Chapter 13 Terror in Lyon Conclusion Glossary of Terms Glossary of Names Bibliography Index
