Since at least the mid-seventeenth century, the concept of
revolution has been an important tool both for those seeking to
bring about political change and for those trying to understand it.
And it is as relevant today as it has ever been. This volume
re-evaluates our understanding of the history of revolutionary
thought by examining a selection of key texts. These range from the
17th to the 20th century, and are carefully chosen to include both
constitutional documents and theoretical works by figures such as
James Harrington, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Maximilian Robespierre,
Peter Kropotkin and Deng Xiaoping Each chapter engages with a
particular revolutionary moment via a specific text, usually an
extract of around 300 words, and considers the significance of the
text for the history of revolutionary thought. The structure of the
book allows readers to make connections and comparisons across the
different revolutionary texts and moments, thereby providing a
broader, deeper and more nuanced understanding of revolutions.
Stimulating, accessible and interdisciplinary, Revolutionary
Moments will appeal to students and researchers in the history of
political thought and intellectual history, and beyond.
