Andress Dr David - The French Revolution And The People - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The French Revolution of 1789 was the central event of modern history. Although the Revolution started with the resistance of a minority to absolutist government it soon spread to involve the whole nation including the men and women who made up by far the largest part of it - the peasantry as well as townspeople and craftsmen the poor and those living on the margins of society. The French Revolution and the People is a portrait of the common people of France in the towns and in the countryside; in Paris and Lyon; in the Vend e Brittany Provence. Popular grievances and reactions affected the events and outcome of the Revolution at all stages and in turn everyone in France was affected by the Revolution. The French Revolution and the People tells a vivid story of conflict violence and death as the injustices of the Ancien R gime were thrown off.
