    Two centuries after the French Revolution, Maximilien Robespierre is still regarded as its figurehead. Seen by some as the champion, indeed the embodiment, of the purest and noblest ideals of the Revolution, he will always be remembered as the reasoned defender of the Terror, the advocate of mass murder during the darkest and most tragic phase of the Revolution. This volume includes essays by international scholars and examines Robespierre's life and work from three main angles: his ideology and vision of the Revolution; his role in the tumultuous politics of the time, culminating in his year on the Committee of Public Salvation in 1793-94; and representations of the Incorruptible in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - by historians, playwrights and fiction writers. This book illuminates many facets of Robespierre's career, thought and reputation, and provides a balanced and up-to-date assessment of one of the great figures of European history.
