Paperback / softback

Description

This volume collects together a wide selection of primary texts that explain the processes behind the enormous changes undergone by France and Europe between 1787 and 1815, from the origins of the Revolution to the counterrevolution and from Marie-Antoinette to Bonaparte. The achievements, terror and drama of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic period restructured politics and society on a grand scale, making this the defining moment for modern European history.

While bringing the impact of historical events to life, Philip Dwyer and Peter McPhee provide a clear outline of the period through the selection of key documents, lucid introductory passages and commentary.

They illustrate the meaning of the Revolution for peasants, sans- culottes, women and slaves, as well as placing events within a wider European and global context. Students will find this an invaluable source of information on the Revolution and its international significance.
