Jean-Paul Marat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The eldest child of Jean Paul Marat (Giovanni Marra), a native of Cagliari in Sardinia, and Louise Cabrol of Geneva, Marat was born at Boudry, in the principality of Neuchâtel, on May 24, 1743. Marat did not want to see France travel down the same path as the English because he believed that the royalty and small minorities used the pretense of liberty and freedom, but used power for their own advantage. On his mother's death in 1759 Marat set out on his travels, and spent two years at Bordeaux in the study of medicine, whence he moved to Paris, where he made use of his knowledge of his two favorite sciences, optics and electricity, to subdue an obstinate disease of the eyes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jean-Paul_Marat   (1689 words)

Marat Marat's pent-up rage against authority, whom he didn't believe gave him the respect that his intellect demanded because they were in a conspiracy against him, was fueled by the suppression of his "Plan for Criminal Legislation" and his failure to be elected to the Academy of Sciences. Marat does not assume nearly as much importance as Danton and Robespierre, but yet there remain certain touches that let you know that his influence was extraordinarily vast and that he was by far the most extreme of the three. Marat, somewhat like Robespierre, believed that when he failed to achieve something it was inevitably due to a conspiracy of men determined to undermine the virtuous. www.angelfire.com /ca6/frenchrevolution89/marat.html   (1442 words)

Jean Paul Marat biography It was in a great measure the influence of Marat which led to the cruelties and massacres of September, 1792, in the midst of which he was elected a member of the Convention.

Canadian Journal of History: Jean-Paul Marat Coquard sees Marat as influential in he lping to inspire the overthrow of the monarchy on 10 August 1792, and as instrumental in forging an a lliance between the Jacobins and the popular movement during the struggle against the "G irondins" in 1792- 93. Coquard's ach ievement is to liberate Marat's biography from this symbolic dimension and to place it squar ely in the context of the eighteenth century. While manif ested in verbal expression, Marat's psychological distress does not seem to have signific antly impaired his interpersonal relationships -- though a certain "bad character" was reflecte d in his rather ungenerous treatment of those whose hospitality he depended upon while on the ru n from the authorities. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3686/is_199404/ai_n8713113   (843 words)
