Liberty, Equality, Fraternity Exploring the French Revolution

The book, written by Jack Censer and Lynn Hunt, preeminent authorities on the French Revolution, includes selected images and documents from the accompanying CD-ROM, prepared by the authors with the support of the Center for History and new Media at George Mason University and the American Social History Project at City University of New York. Features of the CD-ROM include primary documents (carefully chosen, translated, and placed in their proper historical contexts by a team of historians), songs, maps, and more than 300 images (caricatures, portraits, sculptures, and photographs of artifacts of material culture) -- many previously available only to specialists in the field. These hard-to-find images, gathered from repositories in France and the United States, constitute an unparalleled and powerful visual record of the Revolution. Given the centrality of visual artifacts (imagery, symbolism, and print culture) to the history of the Revolution, and the inability of print reproduction to present such images with clarity and detail, the companion CD-ROM provides a unique entry into the Revolution.Censer, Jack R. is the author of 'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity Exploring the French Revolution' with ISBN 9780271020877 and ISBN 0271020873.
