Omschrijving

In The French Revolution (Vol. 1–3), Taine anatomizes the upheaval from the Old Regime's collapse to Jacobin ascendancy and the Terror. Mining parish registers, provincial archives, and memoirs, he splices granular case studies with sociological theses, organized by his triad of race, milieu, and moment. The lapidary, polemical style contests Michelet's romanticism and converses with Tocqueville within nineteenth‑century positivist history. A philosopher‑critic (1828–1893) and later académicien, Taine forged a deterministic method to read culture through heredity, environment, and historical conjuncture. The shocks of 1848, the Franco‑Prussian War, and the Paris Commune tempered his view of mass politics. Years in departmental archives supplied the empirical backbone for these volumes within his larger Origins of Contemporary France, explaining how revolutionary passions built a centralized state. Essential for students of political thought, historiography, and state formation, this trilogy offers a bracing, if contested, counterpoint to celebratory tales of 1789. Read critically for its biases and you will find rich sources, unforgettable portraits, and a rigorous model of revolutionary causation.

Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable—distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Author Biography · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
