这本书于 1837 年首次出版时确立了 Thomas Carlyle 的声誉，这部壮观的历史杰作此后一直被公认为该主题的标准著作。它结合了对人物性格的敏锐洞察、对如画场景的生动再现，以及将过去栩栩如生地呈现出来的独特能力，使其成为一种像任何小说一样惊心动魄的阅读体验。正如 John D. Rosenberg 在其导言中所说，《法国大革命》是“[Carlyle] 那个世纪的宏伟诗篇之一，然而它的诗意在于处处严谨地扎根于历史事实。”——Publ

Thomas Carlyle 的《The French Revolution, A History》。这真是一项浩大的工程，要说“深入”的记述，非它莫属；而且 Carlyle 对参与其中的“各色人等”的关注非常明显。
The French Revolution, A History by Thomas Carlyle. It is a truly massive undertaking, an 'in depth' account if there ever was one; and Carlyle's focus on the 'various types' of people involved is quite clear.
> 关于这条线的首次历史描述直到 1837 年才出现，在 Thomas Carlyle 的《The French Revolution》中 我成长的国家里，可能没人见过那本 1837 年的书，而且几乎所有人都系统性地拒绝“线”这个概念本身。相反，人们“优化”自己的方式奔向目标，……
> The first historical description of the line only appeared in 1837, in Thomas Carlyle’s The French Revolution I grew up in a country where probably nobody has ever seen that 1837 book, and almost everyone systematically refuses the very concept of a line. Instead, people "optimize" their way towards their target,…
……有意使用冗余的词语，尤其是晦涩的词语，对于营造氛围很重要。比如 Lovecraft。还有 Robert Howard（《Conan》的作者）。以及，所有人之中的老祖宗：Thomas Carlyle，他的《French Revolution》充满了隐喻、明喻、冗余的词语和 convoluted 的句子……确实，他在《Sartur Resartus》中以极其搞笑的方式嘲弄了自己的写作方式。
…intentionally using superfluous words, particularly obscure words, is important in building mood. Lovecraft for instance. And Robert Howard (author of Conan). And, the granddaddy of all: Thomas Carlyle whose “French Revolution” is packed with metaphor, simile, superfluous words, and convoluted sentences... indeed, he made fun of the way he writes in “Sartur Resartus” in a hilarious fashion.
……《大英百科全书》的传记说“在 1794 年 4 月 7 日晚上——而不是像 Carlyle 所说的那样，在一个‘bleared May morning’”。用“Carlyle”和“bleared May morning”作为搜索词，会发现它出自 Thomas Carlyle 的《The French Revolution》，首次出版于 1837 年。然而，虽然那本书确实描述了 Condorcet 是如何被认出的，但它没有提到煎蛋卷或鸡蛋，只说了“asks breakfast”。引用 https://archive.org/details/frenchrevolutio16carlgoog/page/n...
…Britannica biography says 'On the evening of the 7th April 1794 — not, as Carlyle says, on a " bleared May morning,"'. Using Carlyle" and "bleared May morning" as search terms finds it comes from "The French Revolution" by Thomas Carlyle, first published in 1837. However, while that does describe the story of how Condorcet was identified, it does not mention omelettes or eggs only "asks breakfast".
