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

This study traces the problem of free speech from the Old Regime to the French Revolution, showing how longstanding obsessions with honour, religion, and morality persisted after the declaration of free speech in 1789, contributed to the Revolution's radicalization and, eventually, the Terror of 1793-1794.
