What reading level is Robespierre And the French Revolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The one grand dominating figure during this period of the Revolution, who centred in him- self the attention of all France and whose sur- passing genius, talents, and power seemed to throw other men into the shade, was Gabriel Honore Riquetti, le Comte de Mirabeau.
No two men in the Revolution, in any of its periods, wielded greater power and influence 1 See " Danton and the French Revolution," p. 238.
152 THE FRENCH REVOLUTION than Mirabeau and Robespierre; yet it would be hard to find two men... between whom a more marked contrast could be drawn. Mentally and physically they were totally unlike; hence their methods, tastes, desires, and appearance were entirely different. One was open and bold; the other secretive and cunning. One was luxurious; the other ascetic in his tastes. One was showy, impressive, fiery, defiant, and resolute; the other commonplace, reserved, and naturally timid.
Yet Robespierre, the weaker man, reached in time — that is, in the days of the " Reign of Ter- ror " — a more commanding position in directing public opinion and in controlling public affairs than was held by his mighty colleague Mirabeau in the first years of the Revolution.
