Lynn Hunt and Jack R. Censer's The French Revolution and Napoleon
provides a globally-oriented narrative history of events from 1789
until the fall of Napoleon. It emphasizes the global origins and
consequences of the French Revolution and explains why it is the
formative event for modern politics. The book integrates global
competition, fiscal crisis, slavery and the beginnings of
nationalism with the more traditional emphases on human rights and
constitutions, terror and violence, and the rise of
authoritarianism. This global approach then enables the authors -
two world-renowned scholars in the field - to clearly illustrate
how the French Revolution and Napoleonic Empire changed all the
political givens for Europe, the Americas, North Africa and parts
of Asia as well. Including numerous illustrations and maps,
end-of-chapter questions, timelines and primary source document
extracts for analysis in each chapter, this book is essential
reading for all students of modern European history who want to
understand the French Revolution and Napoleonic Empire in a truly
global context.
