It also goes on to examine recent trends in French Revolution historiography and consider where histories of this landmark event may go in the future.By emphasizing the elements which have been valued or hidden, exalted or silenced, \u003ci\u003eHistoricizing the French Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAntonino De Francesco’s \u003ci\u003eHistoricizing the French Revolution \u003c\/i\u003eis far and away the finest and best-informed account we have of the historiography of the French Revolution, and destined for classic status. In addition, by viewing the French Revolutionary tradition in wider European, then global and transnational frameworks, marks a turning point in our understanding of what remains for many a seminal event. * Colin Jones, Author of The Fall of Robespierre (2021) *\u003cbr\u003eThis is an enormously lucid, learned and instructive work that brims with insight into the many different ways the French Revolution has been interpreted over time. It will prove enormously useful to students and professional historians alike * David A.
