This essay examines Marie-Caroline Batz de Trenquelléon's novel Georges ou la Révolution de 1830 et l'homme de 1793 (1832), an early response to the Revolution of 1830. Although its author was a legitimist who blamed the French Revolution on Enlightenment thought, the novel is largely based on Voltaire's play Le fanatisme, ou Mahomet le Prophète (1741). This study explores how Batz de Trenquelléon's critique of the Terror echoes Voltaire's denunciation of fanaticism and how she manipulates her historical sources to reinforce a vision of French history in which 1789 and 1830 are part of a single, ongoing conspiracy
