Eric Hobsbawm - Age Of Revolution 1789 -1848

BIBLIOGRAPHYBOTH the subject and the literature are so vast that even a highlyselect bibliography would run into many pages. To refer to all subjectswhich might interest the reader is impossible. Guides to further readingon most subjects have been compiled by the American HistoricalAssociation (A Guide to Historical Literature, periodically revised) andfor the use of students by some Oxford teachers; A select list of works onEurope and Europe overseas 1715-1815, edited by J. S. Bromley and A.Goodwin (Oxford 1956) and A select list of books on European history1815-1914, edited by Alan Bullock and A. J. P. Taylor (1957). Theformer is better. Books marked * below also contain bibliographieswhich are recommended.There are several series of general histories covering the period orpart of it. The most important is Peuples et Civilisations, because itincludes two volumes by George Lefebvre which are historical masterpieces:*La Revolution Francaise (vol. 1, 1789-93 is available in English,1962) and *Napol(on (1953). F. Ponteil*, Ueveildes nationalitis 1815-48(i960) replaces an earlier volume under the same title by G. Weill,which is still worth consulting. The equivalent American series 7"AeRise of Modern Europe is more discursive and geographically limited.The available volumes are Crane Brinton's *A decade of revolution"7^-99 ('934)» G. Bruun, *Europe and the French Imperium (1938) andF. B. Artz, * Reaction and Revolution 1814-32 (1934). Bibliographicallythe most useful of the series is Clio, which is aimed at students andperiodically brought up-to-date; note especially the sections summarizingcurrent historical debate.
