The Impact of the French Revolution : Texts from Britain in the 1790s Paperback / softback
Edited by Iain (University of Exeter) Hampsher-Monk
Part of the Cambridge Readings in the History of Political Thought series
Paperback / softback
Description
The French Revolution embodied, in the eyes of subsequent generations, the emergence of the modern political world.
It made possible a new understanding of class politics, secular ideology and revolutionary transformation which inspired, argues Iain Hampsher-Monk, the whole world-wide communist experiment of the twentieth century.
In this authoritative anthology of key political texts exploring the impact of this period on the British experience, Hampsher-Monk examines the variety, influence and profundity of major thinkers such as Burke, Wollstonecraft, Paine and Godwin, along with the impact of other less celebrated contemporary writers.
