One of the most powerful and durable images of Robespierre is that of a man devoid of personal warmth, evident most notoriously in his involvement in sending his friends Danton and Desmoulins to the guillotine and echoed in his apparent inability to forge an intimate personal relationship. What are we then to make of his love letters and poetry written when in his late twenties and speeches on the family to the Royal Academy of Arras? And how might the sentiments expressed there be related to his own personal background and to the views he expressed about the ideal family during the course of the Revolution? Robespierre emerges from this analysis as a passionate man to whom close friendships, especially with women, were important, and whose views about family relationships were central to his attitudes in revolutionary debates about family law and education.
