French Revolution in Social and Political Perspective

Jacket Description/Back: the aim of books in this series is to bring together selections of important, formative or controversial essays and writings. The French Revolution was a seminal moment in modern history. The purpose of this Reader is not to impose order where there is none. As yet, it is too early to do more than speculate on how an intellectually coherent vision of the French Revolution might be retrieved.

Publisher Marketing: The purpose of this Reader is not to impose order where there is none but, rather, to capture the range of activities in which historians are engaged. Constructed according to a broadly 'social' and 'political' perspective, it tries to identify those books and articles that may come to be seen as key contributions to the subject.
