In popular opinion, “The Terror” is the defining feature of the French Revolution. In modern French history it stains the beginning of the French Republic. But what was “The Terror”? A justifiable policy? An aberration? An inherent part of the revolutionary experience? Starting with A Tale of Two Cities, this course interprets “The Terror” as a complex moment in “the best of times” and “the worst of times.”

Janet Stone earned her PhD in modern European history from Emory University, followed by three decades of service on the history faculty at Armstrong State University, where her specialties included topics in the French Revolution.
