[v.2-4] Produced by Svend Rom and David Widger "The French Revolution - Volume 2" by Hippolyte Taine is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This volume specifically delves into the Jacobin Conquest during the French Revolution, exploring the rise of the Jacobins, their political ideology, and their influence over the tumultuous events that characterized this era. The opening of the volume serves as an introduction to the Jacobin movement and sets the tone for Taine's analysis of the political landscape of revolutionary France. It discusses the Jacobins' establishment as a revolutionary party, their theories of popular sovereignty, and how they manipulated public sentiment to gain power. The author highlights the formation of the Jacobin ideology, characterized by a strong belief in popular sovereignty and a concurrent disdain for established authority. Taine portrays the Jacobins as a significant and often chaotic force in the revolution, noting their tactics, motivations, and the complexities within their ranks as they sought to reshape society amidst the upheaval.
