I've been listening to Mike Duncan's revolutions podcast and have found the French Revolution fascinating. I want to know more and have nearly finished Christopher Hibbert's book. I keep seeing in reviews that it's a good intro to the subject. I now want to go more in depth. I've already looked at the book list in the sidebar and have noted those recommendations down. Can I get some more recommendations on good primary and secondary sources for this period please? Thanks.
Sorry, I meant to add for both events and individual key players.
While they're not primary sources as such, you may want to read Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France and Thomas Paine's Rights of Man. They provide two interesting perspectives into the perceptions of the revolution at opposing ends of the spectrum. I've found that Madame Campan's memoirs are quite interesting. She was Marie-Antoinette's First Lady of the Bedchamber but she also has some interesting perspectives into the court of both Louis XV and Louis XVI. However, it's important to keep in mind that she was essentially writing a sympathetic account; she was attempting to regain some favour with the restored Bourbons because she had continued to work in France during the reign of Napoleon and had fallen into some disrepute because of it.
As for actually scholarly works, I can recommend William Doyle's Oxford History of the French Revolution and David Andress' French Society in Revolution 1789-1799 for some good overviews of the whole period. I'm also a great fan of Lynn Hunt's Politics, Culture and Class in the French Revolution which is a bit more in depth and scholarly but is greatly rewarding because of its focus on the actual culture of the revolution rather than just the political machinations.
It's also worth looking at John Hardman's biography of Louis XVI and Antonia Fraser's biography of Marie Antoinette, in my opinion.
Though I'm not a historian - The Old Regime and the Revolution by Alexis de Tocqueville is probably the most significant secondary source to have been written about the French revolution. It doesn't tell the story of the revolution in the way a historian like Andress or Hunt does, but its a work that has left a huge mark on intellectual history in its own right.
Thank you all for these responses, it's greatly appreciated.
