Book Synopsis
The French Revolution brings to mind violent mobs, the guillotine, and Madame Defarge, but it was also a publishing revolution: more than 1,200 novels were published between 1789 and 1804, when Napoleon declared the Revolution at an end. This book covers an account of politico-literary moment and its aftermath.

Trade Review
"Julia V. Douthwaite succeeds admirably in showing the interrelations between history and literature and introduces the reader to a long-neglected body of work. By showing the role of revolutionary fiction and its reinterpretation by later writers, this important book fills a significant gap in the history of literature." (Marie-Helene Huet, Princeton University)"
