内容説明・目次
内容説明
Every war has refugees; every revolution has exiles. Most of the refugees of the French Revolution mourned the demise of the monarchy. ""Lessons from America"" examines an unusual group who did not. Doina Pasca Harsanyi looks at the American experience of a group of French liberal aristocrats, early participants in the French Revolution, who weathered the Reign of Terror in Philadelphia. The book traces their path from enlightened salons to revolutionary activism to subsequent exile in America and, finally, back to government posts in France - illuminating the ways in which the French experiment in democracy was informed by the American experience.
