The Oxford Handbook of the French Revolution brings together a
sweeping range of expert and innovative contributions to offer
engaging and thought-provoking insights into the history and
historiography of this epochal event. Each chapter presents the
foremost summations of academic thinking on key topics, along with
stimulating and provocative interpretations and suggestions for
future research directions. Placing core dimensions of the history
of the French Revolution in their transnational and global
contexts, the contributors demonstrate that revolutionary times
demand close analysis of sometimes tiny groups of key political
actors - whether the king and his ministers or the besieged leaders
of the Jacobin republic - and attention to the deeply local
politics of both rural and urban populations. Identities of class,
gender and ethnicity are interrogated, but so too are conceptions
and practices linked to citizenship, community, order, security,
and freedom: each in their way just as central to revolutionary
experiences, and equally amenable to critical analysis and
reflection. This Handbook covers the structural and political
contexts that build up to give new views on the classic question of
the 'origins of revolution'; the different dimensions of personal
and social experience that illuminate the political moment of 1789
itself; the goals and dilemmas of the period of constitutional
monarchy; the processes of destabilisation and ongoing conflict
that ended that experiment; the key issues surrounding the
emergence and experience of 'terror'; and the short- and long-term
legacies, for both good and ill, of the revolutionary trauma - for
France, and for global politics.
