Taine’s Revolution reviewed as severe yet partial analysis
The review praises Taine’s disciplined, analytical approach to the Revolution but criticizes his neglect of sympathetic or dramatic detail. It notes his one sidedness, partisan stance, and restraint of feeling, while acknowledging the translator Durand’s faithful rendering and the work’s bold polemic about order and legitimate rule.
