Download or read book French Politics 1774 1789 written by John Hardman and published by Addison-Wesley. This book was released on 1995 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major study, John Hardman examines the political system in France in the closing years of the Ancient Regime. Although he considers the political origins of the Revolution, his main emphasis is not on the coming storm but on the way the country was governed under the system so soon to be swept away. The questions he addresses - all of them basic, yet many are being answered here for the first time - include what the political institutions and underlying power structures were; who operated and controlled them; how and why ministers were appointed and dismissed; where and how decisions were taken; how far the royal administration stemmed from the king himself; and what his roles in theory and practice actually were.

Download or read book Reform and Revolution in France written by Peter Jones and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-09-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook has been written to help teachers and students to pilot their way through the enormous and ever expanding literature on the French Revolution. The author makes a conscious effort to combine social and political interpretations of the origins of the Revolution and offers a synthesis which takes full account of current debates. He also seeks to restore the Revolution to its domestic environment. Notwithstanding the powerful contemporary myth of rupture, the author argues that the dramatic events of 1789 need to be considered alongside the reform achievements of Bourbon absolute monarchy. The result is a new account of the gestation of the Revolution which is both up-to-date and satisfying in its range of vision.

Book excerpt: Stone portrays the members of this great court of law as strategically situated individuals who worked to advance their own corporate pretentions while simultaneously advocating a precarious balance of monarchical, aristocratic, middle-class, and popular" interests.

Download or read book The French Revolution 1787 1804 written by Peter Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its fourth edition, P.M. Jones' The French Revolution has been extensively revised and incorporates the most recent research on race, religion, gender, and citizens' rights. It also covers, in detail, the colonial repercussions of the Revolution in both the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean. Written with the needs of students in mind, this volume recounts the dramatic years from 1787 to 1804 when the Ancien R gime was replaced by a constitutional monarchy and then a republic. Jones covers the difficulties facing King Louis XVI in the run up to the attack on the Bastille, and explains how the Revolution led to the creation of the First French Empire by France's most successful General - Napoleon Bonaparte. Wherever possible, the actions and reactions of ordinary men and women who found themselves caught up in the turmoil are recorded. By analysing the Revolution's significance for both Europe and the world beyond, the concluding section sets the Revolution in a global context. With study aids such as a chronology, who's who, glossary, and an enlarged selection of documents to allow for research and discussion, this book remains a useful tool for students interested in politics, culture, and society during the French Revolution.
