[edit] Further development of this article?

I've recently made some smaller additions to the introductory paragraph, added a cover image of The Modern Library's 2002 edition of the book, and included a link to an excellent web-page which reproduces the Gutenberg Project text of The French Revolution, but with full explanatory notes (the notes being very necessary!).

I'm not entirely sure how we might proceed from here -- summaries of each "book" (that is, the subdivisions of each of the three parts)? Or perhaps something more along the lines of separate sections for each of Carlyle's main arguments (i.e. causes, consequences, etc.)? --Todeswalzer 01:50, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

New Section: Style
I've added a section discussing the unorthodox style in which The French Revolution is written. This might also serve to be a good springboard for discussing the work's critical reception when it was first published. --Todeswalzer 04:35, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
