Interpretations of the French Revolution
Chicago style.
In an essay of about 1,000 words, compare and contrast the interpretations of the French Revolution by the Marxists (Jean Jaurès and Albert Soboul) and the revisionists (Colin Lucas and Lynn Hunt).
What are their explanations for why the French Revolution happened?
On what points do they differ? Which historian(s) offer the most convincing explanations?
Be sure to support your arguments with quotations and examples from the readings (and use the Chicago method of citation that I showed you last night).
