Contesting the French Revolution
- Used Book in Good Condition
Contesting the French Revolution provides an insightful overview of one of historyâ€™s most significant events, as well as examining the most significant historiographical debates about this period.
- Explores the causes, events, and consequences of the French Revolution
- Offers a stimulating analysis of the most controversial debates: Were the events of 1789 a social revolution or a political accident? Did they mark the rise of industrial capitalism or the birth of modern democracy? Was Napoleon Bonaparte an heir to the ideals of 1789 or a betrayer of the Revolution?
- Shows how historical interpretation of the French Revolution has been influenced by the changing political and social currents of the last 200 years â€“ from the Russian Revolution to the fall of the Berlin Wall â€“ and how historical study has shifted from a political focus to social and cultural approaches in more recent years.
