Product Description
Product Description
One aspect of the French Revolution that has been largely neglected by historians is the nature of the revolutionary crowd. The present study presents the Parisian revolutionary crowd throughout the period 1787-1795, showing how it behaved, how it was composed, how it was drawn into activity, what it set out to achieve, and how far its aims were realized.

Interesting but difficult reading
27 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
I read this book since I have a great interest in the French Revolution and discovered it to be an informative book about what kind of people were involved in the "mob scene" actions that took place during the French Revolution. The book was clearly written for scholar-like readers and not really for casual reader who may not find this book an easy reading. The writing style isn't very good and text reading somewhat boringly.
One of the elements I disliked the most about this book was that the author liked to used French quotes without English translation when he tries to make a reference. You have to look in the back of the book for the footnotes on exactly what was written. I found this approach to be awkward and silly which handicapped the flow of the passage - unless you read French that is. If the book is written in English, write down the English translation to the quote (or put the translation immediately below the quote), anything else is just some sort of "elitist" over kill.
Otherwise, this book should interest anyone with a good background on the French Revolution but anyone else should not bother with it.

Not a good choice to learn about the French Revolution.

Rude throws facts at you constantly in such a way that it is extremely difficult to get a clear view of what is actually going on in the revolution. The quotes are still in French and translated in the back of the book which is just an annoyance to someone who doesn't know French. He also references to many people, places, and things to remember all of their relationships to one another. Just Pick another book to learn about the French Revolution.
