'Festivals and the French Revolution' - the subject conjures up visions of goddesses of Liberty, strange celebrations of reason, and the oddly pretentious cult of the supreme being. Every history of the period includes some mention of festivals, although most historians have been content either to ridicule them as ineffectual or to bemoan them as repugnant examples of a sterile, official culture. Mona Ozouf shows us that they were much more than bizarre marginalia to the revolutionary process.
