From what I have read of the French Revolution, I have come to learn that many historians and accounts depict the French Revolution in a negative light, or in a more mixed light compared to the American Revolution. I haven't found much (except for Johnathan Israel and Robert R. Palmer) other work with a generally positive view of the Revolution, except in the work of 19th-century liberals and Marxists.
Can the good people of /r/AskHistorians refer me to some more books and resources that have a more positive view of the French Revolution in general?
So, the problem with the French Revolution is the decisive nature of both the history and the writers. Two points must be brought up.
English language history about the French tends to be dominated by British historians whom have a negative view of the Revolution. The introduction to Napoleon the Great by Andrew Roberts, he states being taught that Napoleon was a terrible ogre in his primary and secondary education. This education also demeaned the Revolution.
This leads to the second point. Is the French Revolution positive? The Revolution fought for the rights of man and the destruction of the nobility, but it fought itself and are itself up. This destruction turns many against the Revolution in general and changes political hands many times with little improvement. The French government was in constant chaos from the death of Louis till the 13th of Thermidore when Napoleon leads a coup. Napoleon himself is seen by many as the end of the Revolution, so he's rarely seen as a positive figure in the Revolution.
These two items make it so that there will be very little absolute positive books about the Revolution. The best you can do is read micro histories or more academic histories that are neutral about the Revolution.
