The History of the Clergy During The French Revolution: A Work Dedicated to the English Nation
by: Augustine Barruel
This book is a significant historical text that delves into the tumultuous period of the French Revolution from the perspective of the Catholic clergy. Written by Barruel, a Jesuit priest, this work offers a detailed account of the sufferings, persecutions, and challenges faced by the clergy during the revolution. Barruel's narrative is both a historical documentation and a passionate defense of the Catholic Church, criticizing the revolutionary government's policies and actions against religious institutions.
The book is notable for its thorough research and firsthand accounts, providing insights into the experiences of priests and religious figures who were imprisoned, exiled, or executed. Barruel's work also serves as a broader commentary on the impact of revolutionary ideologies on religion and society. Dedicated to the English nation, the book aims to highlight the contrast between the stability and religious tolerance in England and the chaos and anti-clericalism in revolutionary France.
