Louis Blanc (1811-82) was a French historian and politician whose
writings had a considerable influence on the development of French
socialism. In his famous Organisation du travail (1839) he called
for social reform by action of the State, an unusual position at
the time. As a member of the provisional government established
after the 1848 Revolution, he campaigned for workers' rights,
advocating the creation of cooperative workshops. His twelve-volume
Histoire de la Revolution Francaise (1847-62), most of which he
wrote while in exile in England, combines years of thorough
research with Blanc's characteristic socialist and republican
enthusiasm. Volume 2, published in 1847, opens with an overview of
French society under Louis XVI. It shows how the financial crisis
led to popular unrest, and focuses on the main events of the year
1789, from the Estates-General to the storming of the Bastille and
the abolition of feudalism.
