Notes

Following are rough notes of Hoffmann's presentation, taken by Stuart Maxwell on June 20, 2004.


  • In the few French literary references to the revolution - and there are very few - the word "revolution" was assiduously avoided in favor of words like "revolt, uprising, mutiny, perfidy" and so on.
  • The French today remain unaware of the revolution.
