Deaths of Louis XVI: Regicide and the French Political Imagination
The Social Contract and The First and Second Discourses
Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s ideas about society, culture, and government are pivotal in the history of political thought. His works are as controversial as they are relevant today. This volume brings together three of Rousseau’s most important political writings The Social Contract and The First Discourse (Discourse on the Sciences and Arts) and The Second Discourse (Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality) and presents essays by major …

Dominion of Memories: Jefferson, Madison, and the Decline of Virginia
This work is about the rise and fall of the Old - the decline of Virginia and the splintering of the new republic. For a time the commonwealth of Virginia led the nation.

The Deaths of Louis XVI: Regicide and the French Political Imagination
The public beheading of Louis XVI was a unique and troubling event that scarred French collective memory for two centuries. To Jacobins, the king's decapitation was the people's coronation. To royalists, it was deicide. Nineteenth-century historians considered it an alarming miscalculation, a symbol of the Terror and the moral bankruptcy of the Revolution. By the twentieth century, Camus judged that the killing stood at the "crux of our contempor…
Michelet and Lamartine: Regicide, Passion, and Compassion
During the winter of 1792-1793, no one could hide from the sad spectacle of the royal prisoners Louis XVI, his wife, sister, and two young children.

Sensitivity to the human bond that united Louis's family with every other Fre…
