George Rudé’s The Crowd in the French Revolution: The First 60 Years
It is sixty years since George Rudé’s The Crowd in the French Revolution was first published, and forty years since the George Rudé Society held its first conference in Australia.

The following essays, by Dominique Godineau, Colin Jones, Peter McPhee, and Don Sutherland, each evaluate the impact and legacy of The Crowd.
