SUMMARY

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-regimeFrance 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.Jones, Peter is the author of 'French Revolution, 1787-1804', published 2003 under ISBN 9780582772892 and ISBN 0582772893.
