Praise for this book
What a terrific book! While rigidly 'structuralist' and 'postmodernist' scholars of revolutions have vehemently attacked each other, leading to narrow and sometimes illogical views, Stone is able to keep a balanced perspective of both sides. Keeping close to the details of what actually occurred in key cases, Stone offers nuanced criticism of both views and produces a creative synthesis. This is the most important book in the theoretical and comparative study of European revolutions that I have seen in years.
A worthy companion to theBailey Stone's TheAnatomy of Revolution Revisited, this provocative book makes a strong case for taking a balanced, 'neostructuralist' approach to the English, French, and Russian Revolutions by applying it to five critical issues that have arisen in the recent literature. Accessible to general readers while engaging specialists, the book provides illuminating revisits of long-debated matters, such as the role of the bourgeoisie, as well as fascinating tours of less-familiar territory, such as the juridical foundations of revolutionary regicide.
