Why don't the French do as the Americans, who see their revolution epitomized by the signing of the Declaration of Independence? \"There is surely something to be learned from contemplating the difference between these two ways of representing a revolution,\" writes James Heffernan. In this volume, he and 13 other distinguished scholars consider representations of the French Revolution in literature, historical narratives, and art as central to understanding it. Challenging the idea that history is a body of fact separable from fictions wrought by literature and the visual arts, they show that study of a major historical event inevitably leads to study of representation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James A.
