NEW MAN NEW NATION NEW WORLD - JANUSZ ADAMOWSKI...

In this new interpretation of the French Revolution  Jan Baszkiewicz examines revolutionary
attempts to regenerate man  France and the world in the face of deep-seated and persistent
traditions. Using a broad array of primary sources - including pamphlets  diaries  police
reports  and debate protocols - Baszkiewicz analyzes the tools French revolutionaries used to
build a new society on the wreckage of the Ancien Régime: Spectacular holidays  reforms in
family and marriage law  general schooling  the Republican Calendar  the liberation of public
spaces  education through work  a new religion  terror and war. In the end  the great plans for
regeneration failed  though the myths that surrounded those failures lived on well into the
twentieth century.
