The French Revolution: A History (Modern Library Classics)

The French Revolution: A History (Modern Library Classics)

The book that established Thomas Carlyleâ‚¬s reputation when first published in 1837, this spectacular historical masterpiece has since been accepted as the standard work on the subject. It combines a shrewd insight into character, a vivid realization of the picturesque, and a singular ability to bring the past to blazing life, making it a reading experience as thrilling as any novel. As John D. Rosenberg observes in his Introduction, The French Revolution is â‚¬Å“one of the grand poems of [Carlyleâ‚¬s] century, yet its poetry consists in being everywhere scrupulously rooted in historical fact.â‚¬Â
