I love that how since stripes were in vogue in the late 18th century, in the most famous portrait of Robespierre he's wearing them, but bc that portrait is so iconic, in basically all of frev media he's like the only one in noticeably striped clothes. As if he's like the brand ambassador for striped jackets or something.

Never mind, scratch the part about me saying Scurr's biography seems to be well-researched so far. As was pointed out by @anotherhumaninthisworld (thank you!) she just gets Camille Desmoulins' age wrong by 3 years when describing what is arguably one of the most important events of his life/of the revolution itself

Like I get that the biography is about Robespierre, but still, I'd be dragged for a thing like that if I had it in by undergrad thesis and she's an academic

I'm just incredibly confused as to why/how? He was born in 1760, which, you know, makes the calculation incredibly easy even for the less mathematically gifted.

There's barely any big difference between 26 and 29, at least in my mind. Like both is late-ish 20s? Is 26 fine but 29 already too old to be seen as 'attractively boyish'? What's going on there?

I'm probably overthinking it. It does, however, show that her research/writing is sloppy, at least in this particular instance.

I was gonna wait to post this for the beginning of Autism Acceptance Month. But I can't stop thinking about it so posting early~

Do you have anyone from history that you think was autistic? I'd love to know! It would be cool to make a book about all the historical figures who might've been autistic.

*edit* I made a really silly date typo and changed that, but very sorry for everyone reblogging the most basic of date-errors on a comic about history lmao

A little piece of music which I’d like to share with everyone who’s interested. It’s a piano music sheet of Henry Litolff’s «Ouverture to Maximilian Robespierre» which is basically one of my favorite compositions ever. It came to me by pure coincidence so I really proud to have it in my collection. The reprint is Russian and dates back to 1928. The first page is a bit damaged but the rest is almost perfectly fine.

Especially I like the La Marseillaise fragment here. Also it’s for four hands so I have literally no one to play it with lol.

If you never listened to this ouverture I highly recommend.

Bonus: a postcard with Maxime from the movie «Napoléon» 1927. The music sheet was released a year after the movie was made.

Finally got around to continue with reading the (here somewhat infamous) Ruth Scurr's biography of Robespierre! I'll be aiming for a review but in the meantime, I have some thoughts:

The thing is that so far, it has a lot going for it. There's no doubt that Scurr is a talented writer who can vividly paint some of the French Revolution's most crucial scenes. It's also clear that a lot of research must have gone into writing it.

That said...

She at times goes into this bizarre wild speculation mode, and it's always such a whiplash

Exhibit A:

I mean setting the odd comparison with a love affair aside, wouldn't anyone's ego be hurt if they were "laughed off the podium"? Like I don't think that tells us a lot about him as a person, that just seems like a universal human reaction to being mocked?

Exhibit B:

So we have one dubious source claiming that Robespierre had an affair early on when he first came to Paris. Okay, whatever, fair to mention that someone said that about him I guess.

But no, Scurr just goes onto imagine an odd sequence of events for this love affair which there are no additional sources for and quite likely didn't even happen, only to paint it as an anecdote that supposedly tells us about Robespierre's moral character (??)

What's even weirder that a few pages after, she suggests that he might have been on the ace spectrum (not in these words of course, but basically). Yet that's apparently not something worth taking into consideration here?
