Described by Karl Marx as a 'monstrous gnome' and condemned by the left for suppressing the Paris Commune of 1871, he enjoyed a controversial political career, but it is for his epic Histoire de la Révolution Française that he is chiefly remembered today. It was first published in French in ten volumes between 1823 and 1827, and in 1838 Frederic Shoberl's English translation made it a staple of British bookshelves. Consolidated into five volumes and illustrated with an array of engravings, this edition presents readers with a history of events spanning more than a decade of revolution and war, and remains one of the most comprehensive accounts of the French Revolution. Volume 3 opens by analysing the state of France in May 1793, and concludes with an account of Robespierre and his downfall in 1794.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe National Convention: State of France after the 31st of May\u003cbr\u003e Means employed by the Convention against the Federalists\u003cbr\u003e Distribution of the powers, and march of public opinion since the 31st of May\u003cbr\u003e Anniversary of the 10th of August, and festival for the acceptance of the constitution\u003cbr\u003e Movement of the armies in August and September, 1793\u003cbr\u003e Attacks on the Committee of Public Welfare\u003cbr\u003e Siege and reduction of Lyons\u003cbr\u003e Effects of the revolutionary laws\u003cbr\u003e Return of Danton\u003cbr\u003e End of the campaign of 1793\u003cbr\u003e Struggle between the Herbertists and Dantonists\u003cbr\u003e Concentration of all the powers in the hands of the Committee\u003cbr\u003e State of Europe at the commencement of 1794 (year II)\u003cbr\u003e Internal situation.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: European history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on European history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22European%20history%20%5BHBJD%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266043433240,"sku":"9781108035286","price":42.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108035286i.jpg?v=1694873831","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-history-of-the-french-revolution-paperback-9781108035286","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
