Fixating on a specific part of history is really fun and all, but it has left me with incurable trust issues regarding popularized quotes and facts from historical periods I'm not well versed in. Digging beneath the surface and looking at primary sources makes you realize how much bs is being regarded as (non-academic) mainstream knowledge. And all because some historian from the victorian era will straight-up have pulled a claim out of their ass or taken Mr. Petty McLiar at face value, whose memoirs were written 20 years after the actual events and contain so much bias and misinformation to be classified as fiction

Anyway, his name is Étienne Benoît (de) Kerdrel, and he's from a minor breton noble family (although he did relinquish his titles during the revolution), so very much french

Hello Frevblr,
I don't know the history of the revolution well enough, maybe some of you can help me out with a question. Have any of you read the play Danton's Tod / Danton's Death by Georg Büchner? How historically accurate is it? I know that he used numerous historical sources and actual quotes from speeches, but he also creates his own narrative and characterization of the historical figures (Robespierre especially gets a bit of the tyrant treatment) and I wondered how much they stray away from the historical facts
Anyway, thanks in advance for any additional information!!
