This book of the first collection of memoirs on the French Revolution investigates how the Revolution became part of contemporary history. Focussing on the marketing strategies and editorial traditions of Parisian publishers, it also sheds new light on political controversies in Restoration France. By analysing the way in which witnesses narrated revolutionary events, it elucidates the reminiscences of memoirs in the narrative historiography of the 19th century. It contributes to our understanding of the relation between politics and history, witnesses and historians, Revolution and Restoration in the aftermath of 1789.
