'Revolutionary Thought after the Paris Commune is an excellent
contribution to the scholarship on revolutionary ideas and our
understanding of 1871 … the book is well written, based upon a
command of primary and secondary sources, and fairly balances both
the successes and failures of the post-1871 revolutionary
movement.' Casey Harison, European History Quarterly
'This is an important contribution to intellectual and modern
French history collections.' G. P. Cox, Choice
'bold and ambitious … the book opens up a whole series of topics
and invites us to look at them with a fresh eye.' Jonathan Beecher,
Journal of Modern History
