Travel to 18th Century Paris by joining Robert Darnton on December 6, at the Marion Music Hall.
Darton’s new release, The Revolutionary Temper, looks at the French Revolution with the perspective of the Parisian public. After reviewing pamphlets, art, underground newsletters and other primary documents, he leads us through the controversies, motivations and hopes for a new governing paradigm.
Kirkus Reviews said in its starred review, “The run-up to the French Revolution in expert hands.”
Robert Darnton is a chevalier in the Legion d’honneur and winner of the Nation Humanities Award. The Pforzheimer University Professor and University Librarian, emeritus at Harvard University is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Sippican Historical Society.
