Description:

InHistory and Revolution, a group of respected historians confronts the conservative, revisionist trends in historical enquiry that have been dominant in the last twenty years. Ranging from an exploration of the English, French, and Russian revolutions and their treatment by revisionist historiography, to the debates and themes arising from attempts to downplay revolution's role in history,History and Revolutionalso engages with several prominent revisionist historians, including Orlando Figes, Conrad Russell and Simon Schama. Contributors include Daniel Bensaïd, Geoff Eley, Marc Ferro, Florence Gauthier, Geoff Kennedy, Lars Lih and Enzo Traverso.
