THE POITEVINS. The history of France in 1792 has been too fully written, and too generally read to leave the novelist any excuse for describing the state of Paris at the close of the summer of that year. It is known to every one that the palace of Louis XVI was sacked on the 10th of August. That he himself with his family took refuge in the National Assembly, and that he was taken thence to the prison of the Temple.

25 of 26 people found the following review helpful. La Vendée By H. Curtler Trollope is one of the most prolific writers who ever set pen to paper, surely. For that reason, perhaps, he is underrated. His novels are always lively and understated: he has his sights on a target much harder to hit than mere entertainment. And for readers who want to read well-written stories and, at the same time, be asked to think about serious social issues, Trollope is a must. This novel may be his best.La Vendée is an historical novel that focuses on the peasant revolt after the French revolution, and, as usual, Trollope works romance into his theme. But his "take" on the revolt, and on war itself, is truly profound. He forces the reader to consider the possibility that war in inherently wrong and that nothing is really accomplished in even the most seemingly justified of wars. He clearly sides with the royalists, though he can see both sides of the complicated political situation. And he wonders aloud, and with increasingly disturbing insights, whether all the death and carnage accomplished anything worthwhile. This is an outstanding novel.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Masterful Blend By Peter E. Gallaher La Vendee is a different kind of Romance; a true one. Knowing the bare and brutal truths may lead one to think they are going to read a grim tale. This is anything but that, though grimness enough lurks throughout in the plans and policies of the French Republic. But, Trollope stays away from sensationalism and blood, concentrating instead on goodness, faith, honor and honesty; and the heroism and loyalty of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Today's more cynical and worldly reader might find him too naive, but don't be deceived. He tells a story here factual in every important way, of ordinary citizens whose extraordinary courage and faith very nearly changed history. That is the unifying idea he builds upon as he brings us gently to the end, no good work is ever in vain if undertaken for the sake of its pure goodness.The novel is faithful to the Catholicism of the Vendeeans as well as to their royalist loyalties. On both accounts it illuminates a time and culture some might find foolishly childish, simple and primitive. Our current culture and its values are very different and would seem scandalous to Trollope's characters; possibly even to the author himself.

The characters are typically Trollopian, especially the women. The battle descriptions are clear and one can picture the situations and flow of the battles easily - unlike the work of many historians who just seem to confuse the reader. It is based on a true story and it is worth looking up the background on Wikipedia.
