| 4. Is there anything
left to discover about the crowd in the French Revolution? Can
we contribute to the issues raised by Rudé, Soboul, and
Andrews over the last 30 years? Is the crowd a new topic for representation
in late eighteenth-century France, and if so, why is that important? |

As I ruminate
about Lynn and Barbara’s entries here, it occurs to me
to add to their general point. Both essentially argue
that while images take us into the psychology of the
crowd, the images that we have from the French introduce
a rationality as well as a passion. As Lynn and I pointed
out in our essay, some of the English images, though,
manage to transcend the limits of the medium and show
real passion. They do this, it seems to me, by close
ups of the crowd, by focusing on the individual faces
and leaving the body in a position in which its motion
is assumed. Had the eighteenth-century English tradition
simply taken them closer to the crowd? Or were the French
deliberately reluctant? |
