The French Revolution, A History, Vol. 1
Thomas Carlyle
$16.00

The French Revolution: A History was written by Thomas Carlyle. The three-volume work, first published in 1837 (with a revised edition in print by 1857), charts the course of the revolution from 1789 to the height of the Reign of Terror (1793–94) and culminates in 1795. A massive undertaking which draws together a wide variety of sources, Carlyle’s history—despite the unusual style in which it is written—is considered to be a important, albeit unsympathetic, account of the early course of the Revolution.
