- Title
A JACOBIN DEBACLE: THE LOSING OF LYON IN SPRING 1793.
- Authors
Edmonds, Bill
- Abstract
Not much has escaped the massacre of orthodoxies begun by intellectual Alfred Cobban's attack on the myth of the French Revolution. But the neo-Jacobin version of the period from the fall of the monarchy to the fall of the Girondins has survived relatively unscathed. General accounts of the Revolution still have Jacobins, Montagnards and sans-culottes playing the same roles. And in accounts of the period with which this paper is concerned, from winter 1792 to summer 1793, the Montagnards and Jacobins still emerge as competent chief engineers of the successful republican counter-attack against the Revolution's external and internal enemies.
