About this book
Letters dated from 1792 to 1795 place Charlotte Biggs's account amid the French Revolution. Their headings move between Arras, Amiens, Rouen and Paris, while the volume combines observations of French manners with reflections on public events. Prepared for publication by John Gifford, the collection records a period in which questions of liberty and government were inseparable from daily life.
The editor's preliminary remarks give the work a clear political frame. He challenges favorable British accounts of the revolution and argues that the French authorities have betrayed their declared principles. A quoted report from Paris describes suspicion, informers and weakened social trust.
