Synopsis
The French Revolution is no dead event; in turning over the contemporary records of those tremendous days we feel that we are touching live things; from the yellowed pages voices call to us, voices that still vibrate with the passions that stirred them more than a century ago - here the desperate appeal for liberty and justice, there the trumpet-call of "King and Country"; now the story told with tears of death faced gloriously, now a maddened scream of rage against a fellow-man. When in all the history of the world until the present day has human nature shown itself so terrible and so sublime? And is not the fascination that amazing epoch has ever since exercised over the minds of men owing to the fact that the problems it held are still unsolved, that the same movements which originated with it are still at work amongst us? "What we learn to-day from the study of the Great Revolution, '' the anarchist Prince Kropotkin wrote in 1908, "is that it was the source and origin of all the present communist, anarchist, and socialist conceptions.'' Indeed Kropotkin goes so far as to declare that "up till now, modern socialism has added absolutely nothing to the ideas that were circulating among the French people between 1789 and 1794, and which it was tried to put into practice in the year II of the Republic (i.e. in the Reign of Terror).

About the Author
Nesta Helen Webster (1876-1960) était une écrivaine et historienne britannique, surtout connue pour ses théories sur les conspirations révolutionnaires. Ses travaux exploraient des sujets tels que la Révolution française, le socialisme et le communisme, qu'elle percevait comme étant orchestrés par des sociétés secrètes. Webster a également été une figure marquante de l'antisémitisme de son époque, intégrant des théories de conspiration judéo-maçonniques dans ses écrits. Ses publications, bien que populaires à l'époque, sont aujourd'hui largement critiquées pour leur manque de rigueur historique et leurs biais idéologiques.
