The French Revolution: A History by Thomas Carlyle
"The French Revolution: A History" by Thomas Carlyle is a three-volume work published in 1837. This dramatic chronicle traces the French Revolution from 1789 through the Reign of Terror to 1795. Written in an unprecedented style that places readers directly into revolutionary Paris, Carlyle employs present-tense narration and poetic prose to transform historical events into visceral experience. The work broke from traditional historiography, treating history as epic poetry rather than detached analysis,
and profoundly influenced figures from Dickens to Wilde. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
