TOPIC: Robespierre
#102694
Robespierre 11 Years, 9 Months ago  
After my last trip to Paris and my belated visit to Les Miserables, I've become intrigued by this extraordinary, contrasting man who was a major force in the French Revolution. I must read a biography. Any tips as to which is best?

Peter McPhee's is the most accurate and readable. Scurr's is a laboured academic work.

Unless you want to know the minutiae of his life, the book that will give you the best insights into the various aspects of his life and thought is this collection: Robespierre, edited by Colin Haydon and William Doyle.
