Series: Historical Facts and Fictions

Uncover the truth among the myths, fictions, and lore of the French Revolution.

Did Marie Antoinette really say the famed words, “Let them eat cake?” Were throngs of prisoners released during the storming of the Bastille? This book answers these questions and more, sorting through common misconceptions of the French Revolution and in doing so revealing a more holistic and accurate perspective of this famous moment in world history. With thorough and up-to-date analysis, this work dissects 10 different myths about the French Revolution. Readers will build their understanding of topics from the Reign of Terror to the role of women in the Revolution and key figures from King Louis XVI to Robespierre. Students are supported by suggestions for further reading on each topic.
