| Footage description: | "The French Revolution has not yet passed into history." One of the quotations discussed by Clive Emsley and two history students from Cambridge University. So important was the French Revolution in its effect on modes of political action, political thought, and political expression that it has never since been treated as safely dead, a subject for cold analysis. Because historians, no matter what their political persuasion, are aware of the power of the weapon with which they are juggling, their self consciousness betrays in interesting ways the attitude towards revolutions taken by the world in which they are working. The discussion ranges over the French revolution to the 1968 unrest in France, and in particular examines the concept of the Atlantic Revolution. |
