Since its first publication to mark the bicentenary of the French
Revolution in 1989, this Oxford History has established itself as
the Revolution's most authoritative and comprehensive one-volume
history in English, and has recently been translated into Chinese.
Running from the accession of Louis XVI in 1774, it traces the
history of France through revolution, terror, and
counter-revolution to the final triumph of Napoleon in 1802. It
also analyses the impact of events in France upon the rest of
Europe and the world beyond. The study shows how a movement which
began with optimism and general enthusiasm soon became a tragedy,
not only for the ruling orders, but also for the millions of
ordinary people whose lives were disrupted by religious upheaval,
economic chaos, and civil and international war. Now in its third
edition, this volume has been fully updated in the light of current
research, and includes an appendix surveying the past and present
historiography of the revolutionary period.
