THE WRITINGS OF MAXIMILIEN ROBESPIERRE

The following reading list provides bibliographic information on the speeches, writings, and publications of Maximilien Robespierre.  Unfortunately, few of Robespierre's writings have been published in English despite the central role he played in the French Revolution.

Research note For those using the Library of Congress - When you are requesting multi-volume sets, be certain to specify the volume number that you want.  For an entire set, note that you want all of the volumes.  Failure to specify the volume you want means your call slip will returned by the reference librarian for clarification.  This can add considerable time to the research process.
