Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Longman Companion to the French Revolution (Hardcover)
The Longman Companion is an invaluable aid for the serious researcher who wants a concise compendium of various facts about the French Revolution. However, the price of this volume is steep and may not be worthwile for those with only casual interest in the subject. There are nine sections in this book. The first section covers political chronology of the revolution, with chapters that break down the revolutionary period into phases from 1786 to 1799. The second section covers the framework of government, including details on the various constitutions and the declarations of the Rights of Man. The third section covers the executive, providing details on various ministers, the directors and the consulate. The fourth section covers the instutions of revolutionary government, such as revolutionary tribunals and committees. The fifth section, of most interest to military historians, covers international relations and war. A military chronology, commanders of all French armies, army strengths and battles are included. The sixth section covers politics. The seventh section covers administration, justice and finance. The eight section covers religion and ideas. The ninth section covers society and the economy. The book concludes with 87 pages worth of capsule biographies of key individuals, a glossary of revolutionary terms, the revolutionary calendar and a detailed bibliography. There are also charts and maps that support the main sections. There is a tremendous amount of information in this volume, although some readers may feel that it covers their particular field of interest too rapidly. Nevertheless, this is a great one-volume research tool, but to be fair, the price is unjustified.
