Sinossi
<p>This collection of the lectures of Lord Acton on the French Revolution comprises a disciplined, thorough, and elegant history of the actual events of the bloody episode. It is as thorough a record as could be constructed in Acton’s time of the actions of the government of France during the Revolution.</p> <p>Delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, <strong><em>Lectures on the French Revolution</em></strong> is a distinguished account of the entire epochal chapter in French experience by one of the most remarkable English historians of the nineteenth century. In contrast to Burke a century before, Acton is not concerned with condemning the Revolution, but in providing an accurate history of its advent, its bloody action, and its aftermath.</p> <p>There are twenty-two essays in the collection, commencing with “The Heralds of the Revolution,” in which Acton presents a taxonomy of the intellectual ferment that preceded and prepared the Revolution. An important appendix explores “The Literature of the Revolution,” offering assessments of the accounts of the Revolution written during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by, among others, Burke, Guizot, and Taine.</p> <p><strong>Stephen J. Tonsor</strong> is Professor Emeritus in History at the University of Michigan. He is a longtime student of the history of Germany and of Lord Acton.</p>

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, Lectures on the French Revolution is a distinguished account of the entire epochal chapter in French experience by one of the most remarkable English historians of the nineteenth century. In contrast to Burke a century before, Acton leaves condemnation of the French Revolution to others. He provides a disciplined, thorough, and elegant history of the actual events of the bloody episode -- in sum, as thorough a record as could be constructed in his time of the actual actions of the government of France during the Revolution. There are twenty-two essays, commencing with "The Heralds of the Revolution," in which Acton presents a taxonomy of the intellectual ferment that preceded -- and prepared -- the Revolution. An important appendix explores "The Literature of the Revolution." Here Acton offers assessments of the accounts of the Revolution written during the late eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries by, among others, Burke, Guizot, and Taine. Delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, these lectures provide an account of the entire epochal chapter in French experience. The 22 essays commence with "The Heralds of the Revolution", which presents a taxonomy of the intellectual ferment preceding the Revolution. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780865972803
