THE FRENCH REVOLUTION
A Study in Democracy
By Nesta H. Webster
Nesta Helen Webster (née Bevan, 24 August 1876 – 16 May 1960) was an English author who revived conspiracy theories about the Illuminati. She claimed that the secret society's members were occultists, plotting communist world domination, through a Jewish cabal, the Masons and Jesuits. She blamed the group for events including the French Revolution, 1848 Revolution, the First World War, and the Bolshevik Revolution. Her writing influenced later conspiracy theories and ideologies, including American anti-communism (particularly the John Birch Society) and the militia movement.

Webster presents the Revolution as engineered rather than spontaneous—driven by a coalition of radical “philosophes,” secret societies, factional politicians (e.g., Orléanistes), and foreign intrigues. She treats crowd actions such as the Bastille, the October Days (March on Versailles), and the 20 June invasion of the Tuileries as orchestrated provocations rather than popular uprisings, and she reads the September Massacres and the Reign of Terror as the logical outcome of this conspiracy. The tone is overtly anti-Jacobin and skeptical of democratic movements, aligning with Webster’s broader conspiracist outlook. Contemporary scholars note the book as a partisan, polemical narrative rather than neutral history.
