Richard Cobb/The French and their Revolution
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
A 5 page analysis of a collection of Oxford historian Richard Cobb's essays on the French Revolution. The writer argues that each of these essays demonstrates Cobb's interest in the social aspects of history, rather than the political or the military ramifications of the Revolution. This being the case, the common thread that ties these essays together into a cohesive whole is Cobb's obvious belief that the spirit of the French people, which motivated the revolutionary upheaval, is most accurately discerned by focusing on the lives of ordinary people. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
