P. M. Jones' The French Revolution, now in its third edition, is an authoritative survey of events in France from 1787, as the power of the ancien régime began to crumble, until 1804 and the demise of the Republic. It provides a balanced and accessible account of the dramatic events of the intervening years, including the fall of the Bastille, the months of the Terror and the journey towards the creation of the First French Empire, are analysed, along with an assessment of the wider significance of the revolutionary decade. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to include new material on citizenship, gender, equality and legal reforms, and the imperial dimension of the Revolution. The historiographical debate is brought right up to date, taking into account the most recent scholarship on the Revolution. The narrative is supported by a selection of original documents which shed light on events of the period from the perspective of those who lived through it. With supplementary materials including a chronology, who's who, glossary and guide to further reading, this book remains an invaluable resource for students of the French Revolution.

It's very straightforward and takes care to cover the political landscape before the revolution, as well as French society in general. There are several charts for further elucidation of somewhat complex things, and plenty of timelines. One of the things I'm grateful for is the way the book clearly details the different factions, their goals, and where they came from. After reading it, I felt much more capable of understanding and enjoying literature and art from the period - as an English major taking classes in British Romanticism, this little book did a lot for helping me further appreciate the Romantics and their response to the French Revolution.
