Reviews

This collection provides an excellent overview of the current state of French Revolution scholarship. * Liam Chambers, BARS Review * an excellent volume with a consistently high level of contribution. * Neil Davidson, H-France Review * David Andress, the editor, and his contributors should be warmly congratulated for providing generally excellent summaries of recent research on the French Revolution, together with stimulating suggestions for further investigation. * Roger Price, Intelligence and National Security * The great success of this Handbook is to present a picture of the Revolution, and its historiography, as the hectic criss-crossing of many individual paths: this bustling, confusing, noisy, and fearful time of upheaval is well conveyed in these pages. The reader is given good directions to follow one, or many, of these paths in the ample footnotes and readings ... The Handbook offers a convenient and scholarly starting-point or refresher on many different aspects of that turbulent epoch and on its repercussions, one which will be valuable in teaching and research. The editor and his collaborators are to be congratulated. * Dr Anne Byrne, Reviews in History * This handbook is a gem ... a superb reference work that doubles as a good read for anyone interested in this massive and complex subject ... Essential. * G. P. Cox, CHOICE *
