Description
First performed the day after Marie-Antoinette's beheading, Le Jugement dernier des rois stages the burlesque trial of the remaining kings and queens of Europe--paraded in chains like animals, made to brawl over a barrel of crackers, and finally obliterated by a spectacular volcanic eruption. Such is the shocking context--at once tragic and farcical--of the most infamous play of the French Revolution, familiar to all specialists of the period. Until now, however, no standalone critical edition or English translation of this historic play existed. This bilingual edition revives Maréchal's play and reveals its centrality to scholarly debates about Revolutionary notions of justice, religion, commemoration, comedy, and propaganda. Provocative, written in accessible prose, and short--perfect for students in a French or history seminar--Le Jugement dernier des rois offers an ideal introduction to the most important and contentious questions of the Revolutionary period.
