Marriage and Revolution is a double biography of Jean-Marie Roland (1734-1793) and        Marie-Jeanne Phlipon, later Madame Roland (1754-1793), leading figures in the French        Revolution. J.-M. Roland was minister of the Interior for a total of eight months        during 1792. The couple were close to Brissot and the Girondins, and both died        during the Terror. Mme Roland became famous for her posthumous prison memoirs and is        the subject of many biographies, but her husband, despite beinga key figure in        administration of France, seldom out of the limelight during his time in office, is        often marginalized in histories of the Revolution.Sin Reynolds examines        the Roland marriage from its beginnings in an ancien rgime        msalliance, opposed by both families, through its close cooperation in        the 1780s, to its final phase as a political partnership during the Revolution. Both        Roland's actions as minister and Mme Roland's role as a woman close to power were        praised and blamed at the time, and the controversies have persisted. Based on        manuscript sources including many unpublished letters, Marriageand Revolution sets        out to examine an unusually companionate marriage over the long term: its intimacy,        parenthood, everyday life in the provinces, friendships, academic cooperation,        political enthusiasms and quarrels, and finally its dramatic ending during the        Revolution.
