Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best, most informative non-fiction books on the French Revolution. I'll be purchasing several, as I need a broad range of topics, from music and art, to politics and economics. I browsed through quite a few entries, but I mostly found recommendations for novels and the like.

Thanks in advance!

Of course, if original sources aren't available, you use what you have. I didn't mean to imply that nothing can be learned by comparing historians... Though even there, it's more useful to compare their choice of sources than their opinions per se. Though I doubt with a background like that you'd be likely to take any opinion for granted.
