"This is an excellent introduction for those seeking to understand
the current state of play in the enduring, but increasingly
complex, debate over the origins, nature, and significance of the
French Revolution. It contains a judicious selection of articles
and extracts, which illustrate the different responses to the
demise of the Marxist interpretation of this world-historical
event, since the revisionist charge was led by François Furet
in the 1970s. These challenging and up-to-date contributions to the
cultural history of political, society, gender, and religion are
expertly introduced by the editor, who is to be congratulated on
this helpful and timely collection, which will appeal to scholars
and students alike." Malcolm Crook, Keele University
