Martyn Lyons offers a fresh interpretation of European history in
the half-century following the fall of Napoleon. Instead of seeing
the period in traditional terms of Restoration and Reaction, this
new account emphasizes the problems of remembering and forgetting
the recent revolutionary and Napoleonic past, and of either
incorporating or rejecting its legacy. Post-Revolutionary Europe: -
makes interesting comparisons and contrasts between the fall of the
French Empire in 1815 and the collapse of the Soviet Empire in
1989-91 - examines the new forms of popular participation in
political life which developed between the 1830 and 1848
Revolutions, as a broad public sphere of action was created -
offers a series of thematic chapters which discuss key topics such
as peasants and artisans, the bourgeois family, nationalism, the
growth of cities, and European Jewry - covers a wide geographical
context, from Britain to the Balkans and from Portugal to Russia.
Illustrated throughout, this clear and engaging text is essential
reading for all those with an interest in this important period of
European history.
