Policing Public Opinion in the French Revolution - Walton, Charles (Assistant Professor of History, Assistant Professor of History, Yale University , USA)

In Policing Public Opinion in the French Revolution, Charles Walton traces the problem of freedom of expression from the Old Regime to the French Revolution. He shows how obsessions with honor, religion, and morality persisted after the declaration of free speech in 1789, contributing to radicalization and, eventually, the Reign of Terror.
