Review of 'Inventing Human Rights' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

An excellent book, though it's a bit light on substance in places, and tends to drag. I'm a big fan of Lynn Hunt, but this is not her best work. Still, it's absolutely worth the read, if only for the first chapter alone, which is stand-out. Hunt continues to bring often-overlooked aspects of the Revolution to the fore with deft tone and engaging observations.
