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

This exploration of the tensions of politics and religion in the United States, from its earliest settlement to contemporary times, is a coherent history of American religious thought and practice within the context of politics.

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.
