Lynn Hunt is Eugen Weber Professor of Modern European History at UCLA. Her many books include Politics, Culture, and Class in the French Revolution(1984).
“This fine volume, the collaboration of two noted scholars,
provides a succinct and very accessible introduction to the French
Revolution. Hunt (UCLA) and Censer (George Mason Univ.) present a
cutting-edge course text. . . . The role of women in the revolution
is stressed, and the chapter on France’s colonies is a particularly
welcome inclusion. . . . Complementing and enhancing the volume is
a CD-ROM, which includes additional narrative, a fine collection of
images and maps, and a selection of revolutionary music. The total
package is ideal for course work, since it combines strong
organization, solid scholarship, and brevity; it could thus be
supplemented with additional, instructor-selected material. Of
great utility and interest to today’s students and their
instructors.”—G.P. Cox Choice
“By far the most ambitious work useful for teaching the French
Revolution published within the last decade is the book, CD-ROM,
and web site combination edited by Jack Censer and Lynn Hunt
(Liberty, Equality, Fraternity; Exploring the French Revolution).
The integration of multimedia formats with more traditional text
documents makes this collection an excellent resource for helping
students understand the revolutionary period.”—Jeremy Hayhoe H-Net
Reviews in the Humanities and Social Sciences
“The book, as a whole, is well written, well organized, and
thoughtfully presented. Each chapter concludes with a selection of
key documents and there is an excellent accompanying CD-ROM, which
contains some 400 texts, over 250 images, 13 songs, maps, a
glossary, a time line and other useful materials.”—Philip Shaw BARS
