Historicizing the French Revolution
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-18691-0 (ISBN)
By emphasizing the elements which have been valued or hidden, exalted or silenced, Historicizing the French Revolution shows how reflections on 1789 are always fundamentally tied to the times in which they are formulated. Antonino De Francesco looks at the ways in which these historical accounts can be seen to support and, at times, contrast with the formation of political modernity – both in national and international contexts – as it has taken shape in the hundreds of years that have followed this key moment in world history.
Antonino De Francesco is Dean of the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Milan, Italy. He is the author of The Antiquity of the Italian Nation: The Cultural Origins of a Political Myth in Modern Italy, 1796-1943 (2013), the editor of In Search of Preclassical Antiquity: Rediscovering Ancient Peoples in Mediterranean Europe, 19th and 20th C. (2016) and co-editor of Republics at War, 1776-1840: Revolutions, Conflicts and Geopolitics in Europe and the Atlantic World (2013).
