Reinterpreting the French Revolution by Bailey Stone
Stone draws on the latest scholarship on diplomatic, political, social, economic, and cultural history of eighteenth-century and revolutionary France to attribute the outbreak of the French Revolution and later developments to pressures of international and domestic politics on those national leaders attempting to govern France and to modernize its institutions.
'Stone has done historians a valuable service by producing a very readable text, summarising a broad range of work, and making what are undeniably important points about the internal-external dynamic of revolutionary politics' Institute of Historical Research
'Superb and innovative empirical research of this sort is a welcome counterpoint to the grander narratives which the French Revolution so understandably evokes.' The Times Literary Supplement
