Age of Revolutions 
This is a great bibliography for the French Revolution! I’d recommend three texts that aren’t included yet: Malcolm Crook’s ‘Elections in the French Revolution’; Richard Clay’s ‘Iconoclasm in Revolutionary Paris’; and Peter McPhee’s ‘Robespierre: A Revolutionary Life’.

Thank you for including my book! It is now available in French as well, thanks to the beautiful work of two former students: _Le Frankenstein français et la littérature de l’ère révolutionnaire_, trans. by Pierre André and Alexane Bébin, preface by Jean-Clément Martin (Paris, Classiques Garnier, 2016).
Sincerely,
Julia
