Review # 1 was written on 2015-02-28 00:00:00 Alan Dineen Carlyle's idiosyncratic, verbose prose, rich with metaphor and symbolism is not for everyone, including myself. But if it is, you will no doubt enjoy this "history" of the French Revolution. I knew nothing about the Revolution before reading this book, and so I had to frequently consult a timeline of the major events and Wikipedia whilst reading, as Carlyle makes reference to dates only infrequently. Having said that, I got what I wanted out of this work which is a basic understanding of the major events. Of course, if unlike me, you have a prior knowledge of the Revolution, you will get a lot more out of this book, as you would understand the multitude of allusions and references Carlyle makes throughout the work. I am glad that I read this, if for nothing other than to see an alternative way to write history, and I would recommend this to others who are curious of Carlyle's historical style in this classic work.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-10-18 00:00:00 Uyfgo Perez در منابع فارسی این سال ها نوشته اند که ادوارد براون گرایشی به خرده مذاهب ایرانی نظیر شیخیه، حروفیه و بابیه و ....داشته است. لابد چون رساله هایی در این زمینه ها نوشته است. این که هرکس در زمینه ای غیر از میل من بنویسد، بهایی یا مرتد است، بر می گردد به دوران قبیله، یعنی پس از عهد پارینه سنگی. بهررو، بهایی یا ازلی یا باطنی یا هرچه، آثار ادوار براون، به ویژه تاریخ ادبیات ایران، هم اولین از این نوع است، و هم خواندنی ست.
