Steven Laurence Kaplan reconstructs and analyzes the loud and
bitter arguments over the meaning of the French Revolution which
have consumed French intellectuals in recent years. Kaplan recounts
the contemporary debates over the meaning of the Revolution,
tracing the impact of the historians' bitter quarrel, from Parisian
academic circles to the public arenas of the bicentennial
celebration. He considers the roles played in those arguments by
three of France's most influential historians: Francois Furet,
Pierre Chaunu, and Michel Vovelle. In 1993, Editions Fayard
published Steven Laurence Kaplan's controversial history of the
bicentennial commemoration of the French Revolution. Here available
in English is one of the most polemical parts of that work,
Kaplan's account of the contemporary debates over the meaning of
the Revolution. Farewell, Revolution: The Historians' Feud, France,
1789/1989 traces the impact of the historians' bitter quarrel, from
Parisian academic circles to the public arenas of the bicentennial
celebration. Kaplan considers in intimate detail the roles played
in those arguments by three of France's most influential
historians: Francois Furet, Pierre Chaunu, and Michel Vovelle. As
he reenacts the feud, Kaplan invites a reassessment of the
relationship between the writing of history and the practice of
politics. His book suggests that the charged relationship between
history and politics that enlivened the bicentennial may be the
Revolution's most enduring legacy.
