foreword bYConor Cruise O'Brien
The public beheading of Louis XVI was a unique and troubling event that scarred
French collective memory for two centuries. In this book, Susan Dunn investigates the
regicide's pivotal role in French intellectual history and political mythology.
"Susan Dunn deals intelligently and sensitively with a traumatic event at the
crossroads of history, literature, and myth. Her book provides imaginative perspectives
on awide range of moral and ideological issues, as well as meditations on revolution
and regicide."-Victor Brombert, Princeton University
