Excerpt from Reign of Terror; Historically and Biographically Treated: Being a Compend of the French Revolution, From Its Commencement to the Fall of Robespierre; Compiled From the Most Authentic Writers In the present instance, it has been the object of the compiler to give the reader a book free from historic pomp, and merely comprising the actually important and interesting events of an era in French history. He has not attempted a philosophical view of the Reign of Terror - impressed with the conviction, as he is, that those who are fit to read at all, can, if you will only put things distinctly before them, be trusted to understand for themselves and make their own reflections. He has, therefore, endeavoured to furnish a living and picturesque narrative of the heroes, actions and times of this important period. History, it has been said, is philosophy teaching by example. No history, it has also been said, can present us with the whole truth; but those are the best histories which exhibit such parts of the truth as most nearly produce the effect of the whole. The former remark is Bolingbroke's, the latter Macaulay's; and in this work the compiler has been guided by the implied advice of the latter, in order correctly to produce the effect attributed to history by the former. The compilation, it will be seen, is based upon the works of Mignet and Thiers, but illustrated and annotated by means of various writers upon the French Revolution, both contemporary and of a later date.

In this engaging and nuanced political history of Northern communities in the Civil War era, Adam I. P. Smith offers a new interpretation of the familiar story of the path to war and ultimate victory. Smith looks beyond the political divisions between abolitionist Republicans and Copperhead Democrats to consider the everyday conservatism that characterized the majority of Northern voters. A sense of ongoing crisis in these Northern states created anxiety and instability, which manifested in a range of social and political tensions in individual communities. In the face of such realities, Smith argues that a conservative impulse was more than just a historical or nostalgic tendency; it was fundamental to charting a path to the future. At stake for Northerners was their conception of the Union as the vanguard in a global struggle between democracy and despotism, and their ability to navigate their freedoms through the stormy waters of modernity. As a result, the language of conservatism was peculiarly, and revealingly, prominent in Northern politics during these years. The story this book tells is of conservative people coming, in the end, to accept radical change.

For some historians and biographers, Maximilien Robespierre (1758–94) was a great revolutionary martyr who succeeded in leading the French Republic to safety in the face of overwhelming military odds. For many others, he was the first modern dictator, a fanatic who instigated the murderous Reign of Terror in 1793–94. This masterful biography combines new research into Robespierre's dramatic life with a deep understanding of society and the politics of the French Revolution to arrive at a fresh understanding of the man, his passions, and his tragic shortcomings. Peter McPhee gives special attention to Robespierre's formative years and the development of an iron will in a frail boy conceived outside wedlock and on the margins of polite provincial society. Exploring how these experiences formed the young lawyer who arrived in Versailles in 1789, the author discovers not the cold, obsessive Robespierre of legend, but a man of passion with close but platonic friendships with women. Soon immersed in revolutionary conflict, he suffered increasingly lengthy periods of nervous collapse correlating with moments of political crisis, yet Robespierre was tragically unable to step away from the crushing burdens of leadership. Did his ruthless, uncompromising exercise of power reflect a descent into madness in his final year of life? McPhee reevaluates the ideology and reality of "the Terror," what Robespierre intended, and whether it represented an abandonment or a reversal of his early liberalism and sense of justice.

The first edition was regarded as the definitive survey of Gothic and related terror writing in English. No other text considers this genre on such a scale and covers the theoretical perspectives so comprehensively. In the latest edition, the broad range of theoretical perspectives has been enlarged to include modern critical theories. Volume One is a thoroughly updated edition of the original text, covering the period from 1765 up to the Edwardian age, exploring the richness and literary diversity of the gothic form: from the original eighteenth-century gothic of Ann Radcliffe to the melodramatic fiction of Wilkie Collins.
