Sylvie Dangeville’s *Comment en finir avec la Révolution* offers a scholarly examination of the theatrical representations of the French Revolution’s most dramatic moments. Focusing on the apotheosis of figures such as Charlotte Corday and Elisabeth of France, the work explores how revolutionary ideals were staged, contested, and ultimately transformed on the Thermidorian stage. Drawing on contemporary sources, the author situates these performances within the broader political and cultural currents of the era, revealing the interplay between drama and history. The concise, 126‑page volume blends historical analysis with theatrical criticism, making it a valuable resource for students of French history, drama scholars, and readers interested in the ways art reflects and reshapes political narratives.
