Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The French Revolution From the Age of Louis of to the Coming of Napoleon When Dickens, in the winter of 1859, essayed "the little task of making a picturesque story," he requested Carlyle to lend him some books which the Sage of Chelsea had used in the production of his French Revolution. Carlyle, making more noise in his silence-room than the rest of the world put together, replied with grim humour by despatching to Gad´s Hill two cartloads of "authorities." These supplied the novelist with sufficient facts and local colour to enable him to write A Tale of Two Cities. Since the time of these famous Victorians the literature of the greatest event in history after the Reformation has been increased by a multitude of volumes. There is now a Sociéte de l´Histoire de la Revolution and a monthly magazine devoted to the elucidation of the many phases of the epoch. The memoirs of those who played a part, however insignificant, in the maze of happenings which led to the breaking-up of the ancien régime are gradually being given to an interested public, and the French magazines frequently publish valuable sidelights on the personalities of dead and gone monarchists, republicans, and firebrands.
