In History and Revolution, a group of respected historians
confronts the conservative, revisionist trends in historical
enquiry that have been dominant in the last twenty years. Ranging
from an exploration of the English, French, and Russian revolutions
and their treatment by revisionist historiography, to the debates
and themes arising from attempts to downplay revolution's role in
history, History and Revolution also engages with several prominent
revisionist historians, including Orlando Figes, Conrad Russell and
Simon Schama. This important book shows the inability of
revisionism to explain why millions are moved to act in defence of
political causes, and why specific political currents emerge, and
is a significant reassertion of the concept of revolution in human
development.
