This takes me back.

Rude and Soboul were both marxists.
Doyle was a revisionist.

Not quite sure how to label the rest - usually I would just quote them or state their points of view without labeling it in a response.

Also, I don't know if you already know them, but your list is missing some pretty important names.

Revisionists like Schama and Furet are MASSIVE in this study.
An important Marxist historian is Lefebvre.
You might also want to look at Timothy Tackett - cool name, and he has some useful quotes.

Sorry if you already knew these people. I thought it'd be better for me to mention it rather than risk you not having heard of them at all. :S

Also, I'd like to point out that a lot of these historians and their views and easily be found via wikipedia.
A quick google search would have returned a few of the biggest names like Soboul, Doyle and Rude. Just something to think about.

okay thank you so much.
I tend not to use wikipedia, my teacher basically would kill me if she found out so i steer clear.
Well i didn't know about Timothy Tackett so i will definitely check him out.
Thank you again for the help.

You wouldn't go wrong if you said something about the violent nature of the sans-culottes and cited that as Schama.
McPhee tends to relate all the journees as a "turning point in the revolution" and it "radicalized the revolution."
The Marxists historians, Rude & Soboul view the revolution as a class struggle between the poor and the wealthy.

[mchouse911]

And Adcock generally, disagrees with Schama. He believes that the revolution was caused by a series of events that were violent rather than violence being the fuel of the revolution.

Be careful when you're generalizing in your SACs or essays. You tend to lose focus of what the prompt is asking but when you need some sort of historiography, it's good backup.
