The French Revolution has often been perceived as the dawn of the
modern era, the divide between the ancien regime and the
contemporary world. It is an undeniably crucial event in the
history of Western Civilization. Yet it is also a confusing and
oft-misunderstood event. This comprehensive examination of the
Revolution provides students with a narrative historical overview,
essays on major aspects of the event, lengthy biographical profiles
of key persons, the text of important primary documents
contemporary to the time, a timeline, a glossary, and an annotated
bibliography of print and electronic sources suitable to students.
This is an ideal starting point for students and general readers
interested in this fascinating historical period. Marsha and Linda
Frey, noted French historians, place the French Revolution in
historical and social context for the reader. In addition to a
historical overview, other essays explore the deterioration of the
ancien regime and the birth of the revolution, the Terror, the
culture of the Revolution, Revolution-era diplomacy, and the
ambiguous legacy of the Revolution. Biographical portraits range
from Louis XVI to Robespierre and from Danton to Lafayette. Primary
documents such as the Declaration of the Rights of Man, excerpts
from the memoirs of French minister Miot de Melito, and Englishman
William Eden's description of Revolutionary France bring to life
the political, cultural, and emotional upheaval that was the French
Revolution. Illustrations from contemporary sources add a valuable
visual component to this all-in-one reference source.
