“Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven!” 

Here it is! The age of revolutions. The time of Robespierre and Madame Guillotine, of Napoleon and Josephine, and of great battles fought when men looked really good in uniform. We’ll be covering all that of course – a comprehensive introduction into a period of tumult and change. But we’ll be going much much further. Because it didn’t end there, did it? We are still living through the aftershocks of the age of revolution.

This short period gave birth not only to more revolutions – from Ecuador to Ireland – but perhaps to the modern age itself.
