The French Revolution was a huge, brutal yet inspiring phenomenon
that changed global political thinking and action, and its echoes
resound even in the twenty-first century. It was an intensely
complex mix of events, concepts and individuals and A New
Dictionary is an invaluable aid to unravelling its complications,
and an essential companion for students and general readers alike.
There are some 400 entries covering the main events, personalities,
parties, ideologies, political ideas, philosophers, writers,
artists, rebellions and wars, as well as touching on colonial and
international developments, the interaction of church and state,
science, law reform, events in the provinces and overseas
territories and the reverberations in other European states. The
Dictionary provides a full and vibrant history from the outbreak of
revolution in 1789 to the Terror, the Revolutionary state, its wars
and the rise of Napoleon. Entries contain much more than just bare
factual information: they provide a detailed commentary and include
suggestions for further reading - both in print and online - which
refer to the extensive literature of over 200 years of scholarship
and recent historiography. Cross-referencing is extensive and the
index points to information about minor but important subjects
which do no receive entries of their own.
