The discussion includes an analysis of the historiography of the subject, and reviews the range of literature produced around the recent Bicentenary. Insisting that the French Revolution had an important social dimension, Alan Forrest demonstrates that the revolutionaries, even the most extreme of them, were committed to an ordered society. He argues that in destroying the political institutions and the corporate structures of the Ancien Regime, they were conscious of the need to invent a new order of their own, one that would be consistent with their ideology. \u003cbr\u003e Chapters focus on the initial crisis of 1789, on the political and social experiments of the revolutionary years, and on the impact of war and counter-revolution. The study covers the period up to 1799, looking forward where appropriate to the Napoleonic Empire. The author's succinct and penetrating overview of events ensures that \u003ci\u003eThe French Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e will be welcomed by all students of this fascinating and turbulent period in European history.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlan Forrest\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Modern History at the University of York.
