First performed the day after Marie-Antoinette's beheading, Le Jugement dernier des rois stages the burlesque trial of the remaining kings and queens of Europe--paraded in chains like animals, made to brawl over a barrel of crackers, and finally obliterated by a spectacular volcanic eruption. Such is the shocking context--at once tragic and farcical--of the most infamous play of the French Revolution, familiar to all specialists of the period. Until now, however, no standalone critical edition or English translation of this historic play existed. This bilingual edition revives Mar?chal's play and reveals its centrality to scholarly debates about Revolutionary notions of justice, religion, commemoration, comedy, and propaganda. Provocative, written in accessible prose, and short--perfect for students in a French or history seminar--Le Jugement dernier des rois offers an ideal introduction to the most important and contentious questions of the Revolutionary period.

Jou? pour la premi?re fois le lendemain de l'ex?cution de Marie-Antoinette, Le Jugement dernier des rois met en sc?ne le proc?s burlesque des autres rois et reines d'Europe: exhib?s et encha?n?s tels des animaux, contraints de se battre pour un tonneau de biscuits, et finalement an?antis par l'?ruption spectaculaire d'un volcan. Tel est le contexte scandaleux--trag?die et farce ? la fois--de la pi?ce la plus c?l?bre de la R?volution fran?aise, bien connue de tous les sp?cialistes de cette p?riode. Jusqu'? maintenant, pourtant, il n'existait ni ?dition critique ni traduction anglaise de cet ouvrage historique. Notre ?dition bilingue fait revivre la pi?ce de Mar?chal et la replace au centre des plus grands d?bats chez les historiens de la R?volution, traitant de justice, religion, comm?moration, com?die, et propagande. Provocateur, facile ? lire, et concis--parfaitement adapt? aux ?tudiants d'un cours de fran?ais ou d'histoire--Le Jugement dernier des rois propose ainsi une introduction id?ale ? la p?riode r?volutionnaire et ? ses principales controverses.
