The French Revolution is a collection of key texts at the forefront of current research and interpretation, challenging orthodox assumptions concerning the origins, development and long-term historical consequences of the Revolution.

The volume includes a clear and thorough introduction which contextualises the historical controversies, especially those dating from 1989. The articles are woven into a sophisticated narrative which covers areas such as the inevitability of the Terror, subsequent issues for nineteenth century French history, the intellectual connection, the later role of Napoleon and the crucial feminist dimension.
