Reviews
"Wandhoff's excellent Ekphrasis provides illuminating answers as to why we should look and read closely."Helmut Puff in: Journal of English and Germanic Philology 2/2006 "Mit großem Interesse verfolgt man Wandhoffs Darstellungen, die uns von der Antike bis ins späte Mittelalter führen, um im Schluß sogar noch den Sprung bis in die Postmoderne zu schaffen, wo in Science-Fiction Texte höchst ungewöhnliche, ekphratisch anmutende Motive integriert worden sind. Die gründliche Arbeit, die epochale Dimensionen besitzt, schließt mit einer Bibliographie und einem Namenregister."Albrecht Clasen in: Mediaevistik 18/2005 "Ekphrasis is a valuable contribution, and provides avenues of approach from which future studies will surely draw."James Brown in: German Quarterly 1/2005 "Es ist ein Verdienst der Arbeit Wandhoffs, eine große Menge auch an theoretischen Arbeiten zur Ekphrasis gesichtet und geordnet zu haben, um den eigenen Ansatz daraus zu entwickeln. [...] Künftige Arbeiten, die mittelalterliche Texte unter narratologischen oder intertextuellen Fragestellungen behandeln, werden vielfältig Anregungen aus dieser Studie beziehen und dankbar auf sie als Grundlage zurückgreifen."Michael Rupp in: Arbitrium 2/2004

Synopsis
Albert Soboul has held the Chair of the History of the French Revolution at the Sorbone since 1967, and is probably the leading Marxist scholar working in that field today. The book translated here should be regarded more as a synopsis of Professor Soboul's interpretation of the Revolution than as a detailed account of the course of events; it is an essay in analysis rather than a narrative. In it the author argues that the French Revolution can only be understood in terms of class struggle, and that any attempt to diminish the significance of class conflict as its motive force obscures the meaning of the events of the Revolution and rends them ultimately incomprehensible. The course of the Revolution and its final outcome, which was clear by the time Napoleon seized power in 1799, were the products of a complex class struggle enacted simultaneously on many levels, leading finally to the triumph of the bourgeoisie, the defeat of the aristocracy, and the fragmentation and collapse of the popular forces, who as the allies of the bourgeoisie had played a vital part in securing its victory. Professor Soboul shows that although the Revolution was caused initially by specific factors peculiar to the structure of French society at the end of the Old Regime, it came to constitute the definitive type of the bourgeois revolution and opened the way for the ascendary of industrial capitalism in the next century, not merely in France, but in the rest of Europe and the world at large.
