"Radicals"

[montagnarde1793]

Since the following appendices of Leigh Whaley's Radicals: Politics and Republicanism in the French Revolution might be of some use or at least interest to others than nirejseki, who requested them, I've decided to post them here.

Don't ask me how appendix six turned out to be so much smaller than all the others. -__-; I hope it's readable, at least.

Ooh, very interesting. I do love lists like this...is that it? It looks unfinished, but that could be just me. Thanks!

You're quite welcome. But unfortunately, this is all there is. There's just the list of proscribed deputies (that is, Girondins), and then nothing. Then again, the book was pretty focused on the issue of Girondins vs. Montagnards, so I suppose it makes sense. >__>

Ooooh, very awesome and interesting. :3 *Saves to memories for reference*

I kind of find it funny that on the pre-revolutionary careers/locations part, all it says for Robert is 'Belgium,' while it actually lists careers and the like for everyone else. XD Sorry. I'm weird.

Also, sort of feel bad for the poor bastard Girondins who were executed/committed suicide in June 1794. I mean. Honestly. The scumbags are able to survive all that time, and then about two months before they could have freely and merrily skipped down the newly corrupt, conservative streets, they die? That's shit luck, that is.

I think they did it that way because Belgium is now a profession Robert is listed under "lawyers" and he didn't do anything else noteworthy. But give the guy a break; he wasn't the youngest of them, but he was still a good five years younger than Maxime, for example.

On the one hand, you have a point; on the other, aside from being conservative scumbags, they *were* fomenting civil war, so I would say they pretty much deserved what they got. And anyway, though they would have been welcomed into the Thermidorian regime, many of them wouldn't have been happy there either, since for the most part they weren't right-wing because they were corrupt, but rather, on principle. (*shudders*)

I'm glad you find it so; after all, that's why I posted it. ^__^
