P.-L. Roederer: Political Thought and Practice During the French Revolution, Transactions, American Philosophical Society (Vol. 73, Part 1) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781422374634)

P.-L. Roederer has been known principally for his role in escorting the French king to the Legislative Assembly on 10 Aug. 1792 & for assisting in the coup d'etat of brumaire. Recent historians, however, have come to discover that Roederer's career was long, varied, & significant. This study of Roederer's political thought & practice during the decade of the French Revolution places some of these recent findings of his career in the broader context of his life & provides new insights into his motivation & ultimate political significance. Roederer's political thought & practice from his youth through to the coup d'etat of brumaire are explored in an effort to analyze & understand the interaction of events & ideas that shaped his political career.
