Christine Planté, The Uses of Charlotte Corday
Questions of gender difference obscure an understanding of the two political currents represented by Marat and Charlotte Corday. The figure of Charlotte Corday, in historical and theatrical works, changes throughout the Nineteenth Century. First, she is a monster for the Jacobins, then a humanistic character for the moderates, and eventually the incarnation of French Patriotism, a veritable Joan of Arc of liberty. She reappears especially during times of conflict, such as 1830, 1848 and the Second World War. This celebrity does not, however, contribute to greater clarity about her political significance. Consideration of her reveals attitudes towards women in general which tend to minimize the participation of women in public affairs. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
