CarlyleThomas Carlyles history of the French Revolution opens with the death of Louis XV in 1774 and ends with Napoleon suppressing the insurrection of the 13th Vendémaire. Both in Its form and content, the work was intended as arevolt against history writing itself, with Carlyle exploding the eighteenth-century conventions of dignified gentlemanly discourse.
