The political ideas expressed in the rhetoric and events of the French and American revolutions have had far-reaching repercussions, changing the face and the definition of democracy worldwide. Beginning with the Americans’ bold assertion of “natural rights,” the original revolutionaries went on to put into practice principles espoused by the most liberal political thinkers. The subsequent upheaval in France, taking its cue from the American willingness to work toward utopian goals, lasted from the incipient stages of its own revolution to the Battle of Waterloo, in 1815. In the process, European political thought and national structures were radically altered. That the reverberations of these two departures from previous political models are still resounding is made clear in this informed encyclopedia. Covering the historical and ideological landscape of Western Europe and its colonies from 1760 to 1815, this alphabetically organized work includes entries on philosophies, people, and events. Written by more than 80 contributors, most with university affiliations, the nearly 850 articles range in length from a half page to seven pages and are uniformly written in a clear, scholarly prose, with some articles enhanced by beautifully clear black-and-white period reproductions. Recommendations for further reading are listed after each article, as are cross-references. Each volume begins with a list of entries, a list of primary source documents, a guide to related topics, and a set of pertinent maps. Volume 1 contains a detailed chronology, and volume 2 a detailed, precise index. The primary source documents are reproduced in full in volume 2, following the main entries. The Encyclopedia of Political Revolutions (Congressional Quarterly, 1998) takes a more general approach. The writing style and degree of detail in the current work make it most suitable for serious students of the era, who will find it to be an excellent source for understanding this period and its extensive consequences. This title is also available as an e-book.
