Revolution and the Republic

An impressive historiographical tour de force * Biancamaria Fontana, Times Higher Education *
Jennings's scholarly achievement is considerable ... his narrative has Guizot's erudition, Tocqueville's eye for the paradoxes of French democracy, and Constant's concern for preserving individual liberty. * Sudhir Hazareesingh, Times Literary Supplement *
... a work of immense and authoritative learning embracing the whole of French political thought broadly defined over two centuries or more. It will be an invaluable resource, especially perhaps for students embarking on advanced work in French political thought or intellectual history. It is unlikely to be superseded for many years. * H.S. Jones, English Historical Reivew *
This book represents an impressive achievement and has to be seen as one of the definitive accounts of the history of French political thought, * Gavin Jacobson, French History *
This is a rich feast of a book: thoughtful, well informed, richly documented, imaginatively conceived, and full of fascinating ideas and insights [...] at once so lucid, so erudite, so elegantly shaped and so readable. * Jonathan Beecher, The American Historical Review *
the first genuinely post-Jacobin - rather than pro- or anti-Jacobin - general history of French political thought [...] a major achievement. * Eric Brandom, Journal of History and Cultures *
outstanding erudition and scope ... we should thank Jennings for rising to the challenge and reopening a much-needed debate about the roots of French political thought. * Emile Chabal, Books & Ideas *
an impressive treatment of the varieties of political, social, and cultural ideas that well serves all who teach French Studies. * Derk Visser, French Review *
learned and carefully researched ... superb * Aurelian Craiutu, French Politics, Culture & Society *
