Richard Alfred Davenport delves into the Bastille’s architecture, its role as a symbol of royal authority, and the lives of those imprisoned within its walls. The book vividly recounts the events leading up to the storming of the Bastille, a pivotal moment in the French Revolution, and its lasting impact on French society and political thought.Added to this historical account is 'A History Of The State Prisoner, Commonly Called ’the Iron Mask’', which investigates the enduring mystery surrounding one of the Bastille’s most enigmatic inmates. Davenport sifts through the evidence and various theories to shed light on the identity and fate of this mysterious figure, contributing to the ongoing fascination with this historical puzzle. Together, these histories offer a compelling glimpse into the dark side of French power and the enduring quest for justice and liberty.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
