Rapport sur l'Instruction Publique, les 10, 11 et 19 Septembre 1791 fait au nom du Comité de Constitution à l'Assemblée Nationale

Rapport sur l'Instruction Publique, les 10, 11 et 19 Septembre 1791 fait au nom du Comité de Constitution à l'Assemblée Nationale by Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord opens a compelling window on the struggle to define public education during the French Revolution. Delivered to the National Assembly in the critical months of 1791, Talleyrand’s report argues that instruction must become a constitutional, conservative and energizing force—essential to secure liberty, equality and the new order of property and law. Part historical manifesto, part policy blueprint, this political non-fiction work critiques the old regime’s educational neglect and proposes that a systematic public instruction be central to the nation’s regeneration. Talleyrand—former Bishop of Autun turned statesman—frames education as pivotal to civic virtue, social cohesion and the long-term health of the fledgling republic, connecting pedagogical reform to broader constitutional debates of the Revolution. Ideal for listeners interested in the French Revolution, the history of education, political thought, or Talleyrand’s evolving influence, this audiobook offers a concise, forceful account of early revolutionary reformers’ efforts to institutionalize learning as public policy.
