Lenotre a éclairci bien des points obscurs de la période révolutionnaire et éclairé bien des figures à demi cachées dans l’ombre sanglante de cette tragique époque. Certes la Révolution en présente quelques-unes d’une certaine grandeur, mais ce n’est pas de celles-là que s’est occupé le plus volontiers G. Lenotre. Il nous fait surtout pénétrer dans les bas-fonds de la Révolution et nous met en contact avec le personnel subalterne de l’historie révolutionnaire: bourreaux, geôliers, énergumènes, espions, pourvoyeurs de guillotine, délateurs De la machine révolutionnaire G. Lenotre nous montre tous le rouages,sans jamais se départir de la plus loyale impartialité; car il a trop le respect du document et de la vérité. Pas davantage ne s’autorise-t’il àromancer les faits. G. Lenotre n’invente rien. C’est par l’accumulation des détails qu’il donne à son récit la couleur, le relief, l’accent de la vie. Toutes les précisions qu’il fournit ont été recueillies dans les témoignages de l’époque. English Translation: Through his meticulous and patient research, G. Lenotre has shed light on many obscure points of the revolutionary period and illuminated many figures half hidden in the bloody shadow of this tragic era. Certainly the Revolution presents some of them of a certain greatness, but it is not of those that G. Lenotre was most concerned. He makes us penetrate in the underworld of the Revolution and puts us in contact with the subaltern personnel of the revolutionary history: executioners, jailers, spies, guillotine providers, informers. From the revolutionary machine G. Lenotre shows us all the workings, without ever departing from the most loyal impartiality; for he has too much respect for the document and the truth. G. Lenotre does not invent anything; it is by the accumulation of details that he gives to his account the color, the relief, the accent of life; all the details that he provides have been collected in the testimonies of the time. ***** Thanks for visiting, and have a beautiful day! shelf-9
