Book introduction
The French Revolution: A History
The French Revolution: A History turns the fall of the Bastille, the National Assembly, the September Massacres, and the Reign of Terror into a vivid prose epic. Carlyle’s work remains important for readers of French history, revolution, political violence, and nineteenth-century historiography.
