This book deals with the various types of revolutionary history and
the numerous schools of historical thought concerned with the
French Revolution. By the time of the Bicentenary celebrations in
1989, the historiographical field had been opened up so much that
it was impossible to speak with certainty about any kind of new
'orthodoxy' at all. The fact that the decade and a half following
the Bicentenary offered up its own hotchpotch of theorising merely
confirmed this. The survey of writings presents a cross-section of
historians of the Revolution from the early nineteenth century
right up to the present day. From liberals to conservatives and
from Marxists to revisionists, it focuses on those individuals who
are generally perceived to be the 'major' or 'pre-eminent' figures
within revolutionary historiography. A 'history of the histories',
this book will be an ideal starting point for those students
seeking to better-understand the French Revolution and its history.
