Description:

This course will take an interdisciplinary literary-historical approach to revolutionary movements that electrified populations around the world: the revolt of the sans-culottes in France (1789-1794) and the slave uprisings in colonial Saint-Domingue (1791-1804). Through analysis of short stories and novels by authors such as Condorcet, Balzac, and Hugo, and readings in nineteenth-century and modern-day historiography by scholars such as Michelet, Soboul, James, and Dubois, students will appreciate the controversies that have perplexed observers for centuries.
