Mass Violence and the Self explores the earliest visual and textual depictions of personal suffering caused by the French Wars of Religion of 1562-98, the Fronde of 1648-52, the French Revolutionary Terror of 1793-94, and the Paris Commune of 1871.

Analyzes the early years of the French Revolution to reveal the true difficulty of founding a liberal democracy in the midst of continual warfare, repeated coups d'etat, and endemic civil strife. This book highlights the role played by violence and fear in generating illiberal politics.
