The French Revolution: A History is a three-volume work by Scottish historian Thomas Carlyle, first published in 1837, that provides a dramatic and vivid account of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1795, covering events from the death of Louis XV to the rise of Napoleon. Known for its passionate, poetic, and often chaotic style, it uses present tense and focuses on the energy of the mob and key figures like Danton and Robespierre, establishing Carlyle's reputation as a major historian.
