Book Overview

In this volume, Keith Baker, arguably the leading expert writing in English on the ideological origins of the French Revolution, collects together a range of his essays on this subject published in journals in recent years. The essays include historiographical studies of the treatment of the topic by French and other historians as well as important case studies on the political vocabularies characteristic of the ancien r gime and the revolutionary periods. The result is a substantial and unified set of studies on one of the central themes in modern European history.

Inventing the French Revolution

I was assigned this book for a graduate level course. It is a crucial read for anyone studying the French Revolution. It demonstrates a particular side of the debate between social and intellectual historians.

Brilliant scholarly history, but a very dense read

Keith Michael Baker is a highly esteemed historian (previously at U. of Chicago, now at Stanford) of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. This book is a collection of essays that are unified by their subject matter, which can be described as "the intellectual and ideological origins of the French Revolution".A few of these essays are more historiographical/theoretical in nature. That is to say, they are more concerned...
