"In Mourning Glory Huet provides an arresting analysis of revolutionary will as the flash point between theory and everyday life-an analysis that brings out the unsettling allure of a revolutionary sublime. She also carefully examines the often phantasmatic representations, historiographical and filmic, that attempt to remember such a will, dramatize its exponents, and address its tragic yet glorious effects."
Marie-Helene Huet is M. Taylor Pyne Professor Emeritus of French and Italian at Princeton University.
