The French Revolution - Thomas Carlyle - Folio Society - 1989 1st ed - 3 volumes

Description: The French Revolution by Thomas Carlyle (3v.) Introduction by Richard Cobb, with sixteen leaves of contemporary paintings and etchings in each volume. Full dark brown and red cloth decorated in gold, endleaves printed in black. 22.7 x 16.1 cm. 276/294/346 pp. Carlyle wrote his French Revolution as a secular ‘tract for the times’ and as a warning for his compatriots of the frightful consequences of materialism, utilitarianism and democracy. Scottish puritanism and German romanticism were his lodestars; ‘History is the essence of innumerable biographies’ was his historical creed. The result is not a work of scholarship but a prose epic, teeming with colourful scenes of dramatic events and imaginative portraits of the leading revolutionaries. The book at once captured the English-speaking world, and has, outside France, moulded popular conceptions of the French Revolution down to the present day. Complete in three volumes: 1. The Bastille; 2. The Constitution; 3. The Guillotine. Please look closely at the photos as they are part of the description. Will wrap and pack very carefully. Will post worldwide. Any questions please ask. In the unlikely event you do encounter a problem, please do message me first to resolve it, and I will do my best to help.All the books are stored in our smoke-free, climate-controlled shop in Surbiton, London.
