(John) The French Revolution - Volume 3 Part of the series Origins of contemporary France. [v.2-4] Produced by Svend Rom and David Widger "The French Revolution - Volume 3" by Hippolyte Taine is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into the intricacies of the French Revolution, particularly focusing on the establishment and functioning of the revolutionary government, the Jacobin Program, and the profound effects on both the rulers and the governed. It systematically analyzes the psychological underpinnings of the Jacobin leaders and the movement's impact on society. At the start of the volume, the author reflects on the transition from the previous government to the radical Jacobin regime. Taine draws an analogy with ancient Egypt to illustrate how public perception and the façade of governance can mask underlying brutalities, likening the Jacobins' monopolization of power to worshipping a destructive “crocodile.” He outlines the failures of earlier governments and how the Jacobins exploited these weaknesses to impose a regime characterized by authoritarianism, insurrection, and the systematic dismantling of established rights. The opening portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the events leading to the establishment of a government that prioritizes authority over liberties, highlighting the complex interplay of ideology and power during this tumultuous period.
