Abstract
Le but de cet article est de permettre une compréhension plus précise des origines de l'idéologie girondine à partir d'une analyse des écrits de deux personnages qui furent les premiers à formuler les idées politiques définissant celle-ci dans les années 1790 : Jacques-Pierre Brissot et Etienne Clavière. Cet article veut montrer que les idées girondines ne peuvent être comprises qu'avec en toile de fond la révolution de Genève de 1782, tandis que l'essai ultérieur de faire de la France une république moderne, plutôt qu'une monarchie civilisée défendue par Turgot ou une république radicale jacobine, ne peut être étudié qu'à la lumière de l'échec de cette révolution.
Richard Whatmore and James Livesey, Etienne Clavière, Jacques-Pierre Brissot and the intellectual origins of Girondin politics The aim of this paper is a more precise understanding of the origins of Girondin ideology. Since it is not possible to provide an analysis of the writings of all of the members of the group attention focuses on two figures who were the first to formulate the political ideas that defined a Girondin in the early 1790s. The first is Jacques-Pierre Brissot and the second Etienne Clavière. The central claim of this paper is that Girondin ideas can only be understood against the background of the Genevan revolution of 1782 and the subsequent attempt, in the light of the failure of the Genevan revolution, to make France into a modern republic rather than a Jacobin classical republic or a civilized monarchy of the kind advocated by Turgot.
