The French Revolution: A History was written by the Scottish essayist, philosopher, and historian Thomas Carlyle. The three-volume work, first published in 1837 (with a revised edition in print by 1857), charts the course of the French Revolution from 1789 to the height of the Reign of Terror (1793-94) and culminates in 1795. A massive undertaking which draws together a wide variety of sources, Carlyle's history, despite the unusual style in which it is written, is considered to be an authoritative account of the early course of the Revolution.
Volume 1 is titled 'The Bastille'
