Viking Books 1990 1st ed hardcover London. 1989. Allen Lane/Penguin. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0713990082. Translated from the French by Christopher Miller. 208 pages. hardcover. The cover shows a detail from ‘A Radical Reformer' by George Cruikshank. keywords: History France. FROM THE PUBLISHER-‘The guillotine is the ultimate expression of Law, and its flame is vengeance; it is not neutral, nor does it allow us to remain neutral. He who sees it shudders with an inexplicable dismay. All social questions achieve their finality around that blade. The scaffold is an image.

In the hideous picture which its presence evokes it seems to be most terribly a part of what it does. It is a kind of monster created by the judge and the craftsman; a spectre seeming to live an awful life born of the death it deals. '-Victor Hugo. This book sets out to answer an apparently simple question: Why does the guillotine inspire such fear? What makes it so abhorrent? This fascinating essay takes us directly into the historical moment when the guillotine asserted its theatrical hold on the revolutionary stage: the Jacobin Terror of the 1790s. In addition to the story of the guillotine's progress-from Joseph Ignace Gui ...
