Maximilien Robespierre originated the role and embodied its ideological essence and extremes; the self that he projected to the people was equated with the ideals for which he strove. In creating this intellectual biography of so enigmatic a figure, David Jordan has stressed the words of the man about himself. With great imagination and insight, Jordan places Robespierre's self-conceptualization within the context of events and explains how Robespierre \"The Incorruptible\"--a man seen by contemporaries as virtuous--could not only equate justice with vengeance and demand it of the people, but also stand as its symbol before the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47615198560407,"sku":"9780226410371","price":4318.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226410371.webp?v=1775098729","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-revolutionary-career-of-maximilien-robespierre-9780226410371","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
