| | The greatest lyric poet of the 18th century was André Chénier, whose fate dramatized the difficult position of writers during the French Revolution. | | | The French Revolution, which lasted from 1789 to 1799, was a crucial time in French history, and it signaled a change in the French literary landscape as well. | | | This period was marked by conflict between the French king and the pope; the prohibition of the Jansenist sect at Port Royal; the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, resulting in renewed persecution of Protestants; and the increased suffering of the lower classes. |

| | 18th Century French Aesthetics |
| | Undoubtedly it prefigured revolution, but the French Revolution as an historic event had on it a lesser and more dubious effect than its first defenders hoped for. | | | But after the so-called "Quarrel of Buffoons" where Rousseau took him to task (in his Letter about French Music of 1753, in favor of Italian opera), Rameau shut himself up in the certainty that music is the universal key for every subject, including even geometry. | | | Because of the vitality of its philosophical background and the spreading of French as an international code of communication, France has been a privileged laboratory of this evolution, both a place suited for multiple attempts and critiques and a favorable one for synthesis. |

| | Chemistry - Ace |
| | The tradition of a "high" ace comes from the French Revolution where the lowest number card (the 1) was placed above the King to represent the victory of the common man over the monarchy. | | | In French decks the ace commonly has the number 1 in the corners instead of the letter "A". | | | When aces are high, spades are occasionally deemed to be trump cards, meaning that if it came down to a tie, the ace of spades would naturally win. |
