He also chronicle with a dramatic burst of poetic imagination….

To explain the sudden end of the ancien regime he tells us that pornographic tracts featuring the lesbian shepherdess adventures of Marie Antonette alienated the ruling class from the monarchy this might be a sensible argument, if the writer was Swiss or Turkish or American, but the man born in Essex ought to know better and there was rampant Atheism, and an obsessive identification with the Roman republic and the American revolution, anyhow Rousseau was to blame and being conveniently dead is no excuse. All in all, my troubles with the book mostly stemmed from my own unfamiliarity with the subject (I got especially bored with Schama taking potshots at other FR scholars). His analysis and conclusions, that violence was the fulcrum of the Revolution, rather than an aspect of it, might not be readily accepted, especially since his account is so anecdotal, though I will reserve judgment until I read something else on the subject.
