The French Revolution

Edición de la obra The French Revolution

"John Roberts here seeks to illuminate the puzzling nature of what came to be called the French Revolution, with its Janus-like aspect, looking to past and future at the same time. Five main sections deal with the beginnings of the Revolution; the Revolution as a great disruption; the Revolution as the vehicle of continuity; the Revolution abroad; and the Revolution as history and as myth." "The new edition takes into account later work in regional and local revolutionary history, and includes a thoroughly updated bibliography."--Jacket.
