Goodness Beyond Virtue Jacobins During the French Revolution

"It is a surprising, and faintly quixotic construct, for Higonnet endeavours to sketch out a Jacobinism for Our Times which is 'a model for modern democrats'. In some ways it revives the spirit of the classic study of the Jacobins by Higonnet's predecessor in the chair of French Revolutionary studies at Harvard, Crane Brinton, whose pioneering sociological analysis, THE JACOBINS, published in 1930, postdated the Bolsheviks but predated the disenchantment with Stalin's crimes which rendered problematic the links between the French and Russian Revolutions."Higonnet, Patrice L. is the author of 'Goodness Beyond Virtue Jacobins During the French Revolution', published 1998 under ISBN 9780674470620 and ISBN 0674470621.
