Louis Blanc - Blanc's 13-volume Histoire de la Révolution française (1847–1862) displays utopian socialist views, and sympathizes with Jaconbinism.
Edmund Burke - Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) is mainly a polemical work rather than a history, but still worth reading for an English conservative's look at what he saw as excesses of the Revolution before the period of the Terror.
Thomas Carlyle - Carlyle's two-volume The French Revolution, A History (1837) is a romantic work, both in style and viewpoint. Passionate in his concern for the poor and in his interest in the fears and hopes of revolution, Carlyle (while reasonably historically accurate) is often more concerned with conveying his impression of the hopes and aspirations of people (and his opposition to ossified ideology ("formulas" or "Isms", as he called them) than with strict adherence to fact.

Jules Michelet - Michelet's Histoire de la revolution française, published after the Revolution of 1848 is one of the lesser works of a generally highly esteemed writer. To quote the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, "In actual picturesqueness as well as in general veracity of picture, the book cannot approach Carlyle's; while as a mere chronicle of the events it is inferior to half a dozen prosaic histories older and younger than itself."
