Abstract
During the French Revolution, pamphleteering and pamphlets worked in conjunction with cafe culture to disseminate the "news of the day" and bolster the rise of a popular public opinion. The combination of pamphlets and cafes saw its apex form 1789-1791. The pamphlets analyzed in this study demonstrate this high-point shedding light on the continuing contribution of cafes during the era of revolution. From their inception, the cafe has advanced political and social climates attesting to their longevity.
