Ozouf was a very very interesting person in the way she looked at the French revolution. It seems as the further I look into the people that we read about the more and more I become interested in not only History but the way these people look at history. Ozouf looked at the revolutions reasoning as to find the perfect world. I don't agreein utopias as Ryan's post also stated but to my understanding is you revolt to attempt to gain a better life then the ones in control have laid out for you, so to my understand maybe Ozouf was trying to state that these people wanted their own Utopias. Very creative way of putting it.
Are there any historians who are specifically known for going against what society thinks really happened ?
