Bastille Day, 14 July

If you couldn’t get excited about the Coronation earlier this year perhaps the trigger for a revolution is more your thing?

If so, why not celebrate or commemorate Bastille Day with a little bit of French Revolution reading and listening. Collected here is one of our classic pamphlets as well as more recent articles. There is also a podcast exploring the background to the Revolution and the Terror that followed on from it. Now is a time to catch up on one of the most pivotal events in modern European history.
