The end of the lyrical Revolution and the calendar's piecemeal decline. 330 $aOne of the most unusual decisions of the leaders of the French Revolution - and one that had immense practical as well as symbolic impact - was to abandon customarily-accepted ways of calculating date and time to create a Revolutionary calendar. The experiment lasted from 1793 to 1805, and prompted all sorts of questions about the nature of time, ways of measuring it and its relationship to individual, community, communication and creative life. This study traces the course of the Revolutionary Calendar, from its cultural origins to its decline and fall. Tracing the parallel stories of the calendar and the literary genius of its creator, Sylvain Mare?chal, from the Enlightenment to the Napoleonic era, Sanja Perovic reconsiders the status of the French Revolution as the purported 'origin' of modernity, the modern experience of time, and the relationship between the imagination and political action. 606 $aCalendar, Republican$xHistory 606 $aTime$xPhilosophy$xHistory 607 $aFrance$xHistory$y1789-1815 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yRevolution, 1789-1799 615 0$aCalendar, Republican$xHistory. 615 0$aTime$xPhilosophy$xHistory. 676 $a944.04 686 $aLIT004130$2bisacsh 700 $aPerovic$b Sanja$01556400 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785522503321 996 $aThe calendar in revolutionary France$93819067 997 $aUNINA
