Definition
- Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès (1748–1836), better known as the Abbé Sieyès, is the writer of the key text of the French Revolution (1789–1799), What Is the Third Estate? (1789). An ungifted orator, Sieyès nonetheless led the fight for radical reform in the name of the French people's national sovereignty, calling for the dissolution of the entire French social and political system, including the Estates General that would meet in 1789 after Parisians stormed the Bastille, a medieval fortress serving as a state prison.
