This unique collection of essays provides a re-evaluation of the
term 'Atlantic, ' by placing at the core of the debate on
republicanism in the early modern age the link between continental
Europe and America, rather than assuming British political culture
as having been widely representative of Europe as a whole.
This book provides a critical examination of over 300 historical
works about the French Revolution, published in Europe (in
particular in France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Russia) as
well as in the United States between 1789 and 1989. It also goes on
to examine recent trends in French Revolution historiography and
consider where histories of this landmark event may go in the
future. By emphasizing the elements which have been valued or
hidden, exalted or silenced, Historicizing the French Revolution
shows how reflections on 1789 are always fundamentally tied to the
times in which they are formulated. Antonino De Francesco looks at
the ways in which these historical accounts can be seen to support
and, at times, contrast with the formation of political modernity -
both in national and international contexts - as it has taken shape
in the hundreds of years that have followed this key moment in
world history.
