A
Critical Dictionary of the French Revolution
by Francois Furet, Mona Ozouf, Arthur Goldhammer
Book Description: Two centuries later, the French Revolution--that
extraordinary event that founded modern democracy--continues to give rise
to a reevaluation of essential questions. The ambition of this magnificent
volume is not only to present the reader with the research of a wide range
of international scholars on those questions, but also to bring one into
the heart of the issues still under lively debate.
Its form is as original as its goal: neither dictionary, in the traditional
sense of the word, nor encyclopedia, it is deliberately limited to some
ninety-nine entries organized alphabetically by key words and themes under
five major headings: events, including the Estates General and the Terror;
actors, such as Marie Antoinette, Marat, and Napoleon Bonaparte; institutions
and creations, among them Revolutionary Calendar and Suffrage; ideas, covering,
for example, Ancien Régime, the American Revolution, and Liberty; and
historians and commentators, from Hegel to Tocqueville. In addition, there
are synoptic indexes of names and themes that give the reader easy access
to the entire volume as well as a key to its profound coherence.
What unifies all the varied topics brought together in this dictionary
is their authors' effort to be "critical." As such, the book rejects the
dogmatism of closed systems and definitive interpretations. Its aim is
less to make a complete inventory of the findings of the history of the
French Revolution than to take stock of what remains problematical about
those findings; this work thus offers the additional special quality of
incorporating the rich historiographical literature unceasingly elaborated
since 1789.
With A Critical Dictionary of the French Revolution, François Furet
and Mona Ozouf invite the reader to recross the first two centuries of
French democracy in order to gain a better understanding of the origins
of the world in which we live today.

The
Oxford History of the French Revolution
by William Doyle
Book Description Massacres were nothing new to the late eighteenth-century
world, but the prospect of a government systematically executing its opponents
by the cartload for months on end presented Europe with a new and unimaginable
horror. The Reign of Terror and the French Revolution as a whole transformed
the meaning of political change and history itself. Written by a leading
historian, this authoritative and comprehensive history draws on a wealth
of new research in order to reassess the greatest of all revolutions.
Beginning with the accession of Louis XVI in 1774, William Doyle traces
the history of France through revolution, terror, and counter-terror, to
the triumph of Napoleon in 1802, along the way analyzing the impact of
these events in France upon the rest of Europe. He explores how a movement
which began with optimism and general enthusiasm soon became a tragedy,
not only for the ruling orders, but for millions of ordinary people all
over Europe. They were the ones who paid the price for the destruction
of the old political order and the struggle to establish a new one, based
on liberty and revolution, in the face of widespread indifference and hostility.
Highly readable and meticulously researched, The Oxford History of the
French Revolution will provide new insights into one of the most important
events in European history.
