"In Mourning Glory Huet provides an arresting analysis of revolutionary will as the flash point between theory and everyday life-an analysis that brings out the unsettling allure of a revolutionary sublime. She also carefully examines the often phantasmatic representations, historiographical and filmic, that attempt to remember such a will, dramatize its exponents, and address its tragic yet glorious effects."-Dominick LaCapra, Cornell University"This is without doubt a remarkable book. It is elegantly and passionately written; it is brilliant through and through. . . . It should appeal to all readers who are interested in the way cultures deal with their ancestry and their dead; the way they articulate their memory and, in the end, write their history."-Pierre Saint-Amand, Brown University
