At first, Burke seems to claim that the revolutionary government is democratic only in facade. They did not call themselves “democrats,” using instead other terms such as “patriots,” “nationals,” and “republicans.” It was not until Robespierre’s speech in 1794 that the Revolutionary government declared itself to be a “republican or democratic government” in some official form, but even in this case Robespierre used democracy not to refer to people’s direct involvement in self-government but to the election of representatives. By the time the Reflections was published, Revolutionaries had abolished aristocratic privileges, but constitutional monarchy was still a likely option. Historians of the French Revolution and democracy might object to Burke’s portrayal of the Revolution as a democratic revolution. ![]() ![]() ![]() Seven words to describe Kennedy Clarke, Kenz: Stubborn, naïve, spoiled, reflective, feisty, snarky and impatient.

Stop trying to be someone else and start living your life ![]() ![]() This edition of the Revelations contains both the short text, which is mainly an account of the 'showings' themselves and Julian's initial interpretation of their meaning, and the long text, completed some twenty years later, which moves from vision to a daringly speculative theology. Written in a vigorous English vernacular, the Revelations are one of the most original works of medieval mysticism and have had a lasting influence on Christian thought. Through these 'showings', Christ's sufferings were revealed to her with extraordinary intensity, but she also received assurance of God's unwavering love for man and his infinite capacity for forgiveness. One of the first woman authors, Julian of Norwich produced in Revelations of Divine Love a remarkable work of revelatory insight, that stands alongside The Cloud of Unknowing and Piers Plowman as a classic of Medieval religious literature After fervently praying for a greater understanding of Christ's passion, Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth-century anchorite and mystic, experienced a series of divine revelations. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ll never get to read the works of Ursula K.
