The French Revolution sought to change daily life itself. This book
looks at the thirteen years between 1789-1802 that experienced the
Terror, banning of the aristocracy, and the rearrangement of the
calendar. No part of French life was left untouched during this
incredible period of turmoil and warfare, from women's role in the
family to men's role in the state. Art and theater were invigorated
and harnessed for political purposes. Subtleties in one's dress
could mean the difference between life and death. The first modern
mass army was created. Chapters include the physical make-up of
France; the social and political background of the revolution; the
First Republic; religion, church and state; urban life; rural life;
family life; the fringe society; clothes and fashion; food and
drink; the role of women; military life; education; health and
medicine; and writers, artists, musicians and entertainment.
Anderson breathes life into the day-to-day lives of those living
during the French Revolution. Greenwood's Daily Life through
History series looks at the everyday lives of common people. This
book will illuminate the lives of those living during the French
Revolution and provide a basis for further research. Black and
white photographs, maps, and charts are interspersed throughout the
text to assist readers. Reference features include a timeline of
historic events, glossaries of terms and names, an annotated
bibliography of print and electronic resources suitable for high
school and college student research, and an index.
