French Revolution Opera

Question: French Culture in French Revolution?

Any good websites for French culture during the Revolution, like operas written or dramas. If anything a title of an opera or drama during the late 1700’s. Many thanks!

Answer: Great question! I've been reading a lot lately on the French Revolution and French culture. But I haven't connected the two so much, so it's great that you asked the question.

Here are some links that I found during a Google search:

French Revolution Nationalism

Question: Is there a French Revolution without the American Revolution? Is the American Revolution good or bad?

Did the American Revolution make European nationalism even worse?

Answer: The parallel between the French Revolution and the American Revolution is faulty. The American War for Independence was hardly revolutionary. It involved the changing of headquarters from London to Washington but the order remained untouched. There was little socioeconomic or political development in the early US and universal suffrage was at best an unplanned development. Some of the early independists were indeed populists and democrats (read Payne and Hancock) but they were quickly undermined by Southern aristocrats such as Jefferson and Washington.
The French Revolution on the other hand was a true undoing of the past complete with all the blunders of nation building under total war. For my part, I believe that they are relatively independent events… although Lafayette and other in the French military came to support the Revolution because of their involvement in the war for independence.
If you are writing a paper though, tell your teacher the French rev. would have never occurred without the awe and inspiration transmitted by America and its dream. The French lost the message of good will and fell into extremism. Murdering about seven thousand people in the reign of terror and eventually abandoning themselves to a bloody despot (bonaparte).
In order to get the A, you need to repeat the official story. If you want the truth, i suggest checking out Doyle’s French Revolution. It is an Oxford press book and it is more than comprehensive.

French Revolution Fraternity

Question: I have to make a slide show on the time period 1798-1832?

I mentioned the French revolution. How does this sound. (This will be the first bullet of approx. 5 on this subject.)

The French Revolution came about as a result of revolutionary experiments that were supposed to introduce “Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality” into French society

Answer: Not bad. I don’t know if I like the use of the word “revolutionary” so soon after the word “revolution.” Maybe substitute another word like “visionary” or another synonym for revolutionary.
