Cover of Thomas Carlyle: The French Revolution (ePUB)

First published in 1837. According to Wikipedia: ‘The resulting work was filled with a passionate intensity, hitherto unknown in historical writing. In a politically charged Europe, filled with fears and hopes of revolution, Carlyle’s account of the motivations and urges that inspired the events in France seemed powerfully relevant. Carlyle’s style of writing emphasised this, continually stressing the immediacy of the action ? often using the present tense. For Carlyle, chaotic events demanded what he called ‘heroes’ to take control over the competing forces erupting within society.’
