A groundbreaking work of history (and, incidentally, the primary resource for Charles Dickens’s novel A Tale of Two Cities) Carlyle’s French Revolution explains momentous historical change as resulting from the leadership of heroic individuals. The immediacy of Carlyle’s prose—in which past events are often recounted in the present tense—makes for riveting reading.
