The French Revolution 1787-1804

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Peter Jones has given students and teachers a wonderfully lucid and useful text, based on his masterful grasp of the latest research on this complex but pivotal period of French and European history. Highly recommended."

Peter McPhee, University of Melbourne, Australia

"Peter Jones steers his readers with a skilful hand through the complex and ever-changing politics of the Revolution in this scholarly, accessible and engaging guide. A particular strength of this book is its attention to the impact of the Revolution in the provinces, reminding us that the French Revolution was about much more than Paris. The inclusion of many translated documents will be particularly helpful for students."

Marisa Linton, Kingston University, UK

"Undergraduate students will find here just what they need - an authoritative and genuinely explanatory narrative that never loses sight of what the revolution meant to those who built and experienced it. Jones treats the heavy historiographical disputes around the meaning of 1789 with a light and judicious touch, teasing out the implications of both recent and foundational scholarship for our understanding of the 'civic energy' of the revolutionary process itself."
Joan Tumblety, University of Southampton, UK Praise for the previous edition:

"This is an admirable precis of what happened during the Revolution [and] a dispassionate attempt to explain why things took that particular course.
