French Revolution: The Basics is an accessible and concise
introduction to the history of the revolution in France. Combining
a traditional narrative with documents of the era and references to
contemporary imagery of the revolution, the book traces the
long-and short-term causes of the French Revolution as well as its
consequences up to the dissolution of the Convention and the
ascendancy of Napoleon. The book is written with an explicit aim
for its reader to acquire understanding of the past whilst
imparting knowledge using underlying historical concepts such as
evidence, continuity and change, cause and effect, significance,
empathy, perspectives, and contestability. Key topics discussed
within the book include: The structure of French society before
1789. The long- and short-term factors that contributed to the
French Revolution. How ordinary French people, including women and
slaves, participated in the revolution. What brought about the end
of the ancien regime. The major reforms of the National Assembly,
1789-1791, and how they lead to the division and radicalisation of
the revolution. How the alternative visions of the new society
divided the revolution and what were the internal and external
pressures on the revolution that contributed to its radicalisation.
The forms of terror which enabled reality to triumph over the
idealism. The rise of Napoleon Bonaparte as military leader and
Emperor. This book is an ideal introduction for anyone wishing to
learn more about this influential revolution in the shaping of
modern Europe and the world.
