All serious historical inquiry constantly encounters these major
questions: what are the forces of historical change? and are there
any general patterns shaping historical development? Theories of
revolution have figured large in historians' explanations, yet they
have remained deeply controversial, not least because of the
complexity - and often ambiguity - of such notions of revolution
themselves. In this book fifteen contributors, leading historians
and renowned experts in particular fields or periods, examine the
interpretative value of ideas of revolution for explaining
historical development within their own specialism, assessing the
existing historiography and offering their own personal views. The
book presents a conspectus of modern historical opinion, provides a
sweeping historical overview, and offers students an invaluable
introduction to major questions of historiographical interpretation
and controversy.
