It is a matter of consensus that Alexis de Tocqueville remains one of the most interesting and important writers on the French Revolution. Yet most scholars would find it difficult to agree about how Tocqueville understands the Revolution. Tocqueville is a subtle and complex thinker. To contemplate his work is to reveal the hidden tensions that lie beneath its seemingly transparent surface. The task of understanding his thoughts about the Revolution is made more difficult by the fragmentary state of his writings on it, after the period covered by the first volume of L 'Ancien Regime et la Revolution, the only volume published during his lifetime and the only volume that has received serious critical attention
