Victims, Authority, and Terror: The Parallel Deaths of D'Orleans, Custine, Bailly, and Malesherbes

This book is a study of French liberalism in the first half of the nineteenth century and its continuing relevance to political theory and practice.

Mr Kelly provides a wide-ranging but careful scholarly analysis of the meeting of two vital themes in the French Revolutionary period: intellectual and moral perceptions of history, and the patterns of political systems. The author traces his central preoccupations in a series of linked studies of Rousseau, Kant, Fichte and Hegel.
