A Solid Survey,
By JC (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Critics of the Enlightenment: Readings in the French Counter-Revolutionary Tradition (Paperback)
Prof. Blum's thick volume is a good addition to the library of any scholar of the enlightenment period.
The book introduces English speaking readers to six French Catholic writers, providing a well written introduction to the writers and then a selection of each author's writings. These are the lost voices of the French Revolution, counter-revolutionary thinkers who focused their attention on the permanent things while providing elegant arguments for their principles. Theses voices were largely ignored by their contemporaries, let us not make the same mistake by looking over this engaging translation. The writing is academic, but not unapproachable, and I would recommend this especially to college / graduate students looking for a supplement to their French History classes--most professors will gloss over these thinkers, if they are mentioned at all. So pick it up if French History your thing, as it is an invaluable reference. |
