Abstract

Any social revolution is marked by the emergence of some dominant personalities -- people who, having assumed the role of leadership:, channel the direction the revolution will take. Naturally then, the French Revolution, as one of the most extensive and lasting social revolutions, had its share of such I personalities attempting to guide its course once it got underway. In fact, histories of the French Revolution abound with character sketches and biographical accounts of men, and even of some women, who seemingly took the reins of leadership at that time. One person who found a place in history in this capacity was Maximilien de Robespierre (1758-179:4).
