The French Revolution was one of the most exciting, dramatic and violent periods in modern history and has been the subject of intense political and intellectual debate ever since. This new Seminar Study provides students with an accessible, succinct and historiographically up-to-date introduction to the events leading up to the revolution, as well as the revolution itself and its aftermath.Beginning with the visible crumbling of monarchical power in 1787, and ending with the death of the republic in 1804, the book captures the medium as well as short-term processes of Revolutionary change. The extra-European dimensions of citizenship and slavery are covered, as well as gender issues.

• Synthesises and evaluates the most recent research in the field.

• Includes selection of original documents as aide to further study.

French Revolution and Napoleon  [LONGMAN UK IMPORTS]   (Western & World History)
History of France  [LONGMAN UK IMPORTS]   (Western & World History)

The French Revolution can be likened to a huge release of energy. Contrary to popular belief the pressure for change did not burst forth suddenly in 1789, nor was it brought to an end abruptly by the appearance on the stage of history of Napoleon Bonaparte.

This book draws attention to the vigour and vitality of ancien-regime France and emphasizes the role played by the Bourbon monarchy in constructing an agenda for change. Starting with the visible crumbling of monarchical power in 1787 and ending with the demise of the republic in 1804, it lays bare the process of Revolutionary change. Written in a clear and accessible manner, the book:

• contains an up-to-date and easy to follow narrative
• provides a broader chronological sweep (1787-1804) than most other textbooks on the Revolution
• identifies the main areas of controversy among specialist historians
• provides a selection of documents as an aid to closer study

A Chronology, Who¿s Who of key characters and Glossary are also provided to ensure that this is an indispensable textbook for students studying the French Revolution.

P. M. Jones is Professor of French History at the University of Birmingham.
