First published in 1987, A Social History of Nineteenth-Century
France argues that the social impact of the French Revolution has
been greatly exaggerated, and that in 1815 France was still
predominantly a rural and pre-industrial society. The revolution
introduced only very limited changes in social structures and
relationships - the daily lives of ordinary people remained
virtually unchanged. A much more decisive turning point in French
history, the author suggests, was the period of structural change
in economy and society, which began in the mid nineteenth century.
The first part of the book looks at many changes in the economy and
their effect on living standards and social environment. The second
part identifies the social groups which make up French society and
provides detailed analyses of their lifestyles and social
relationships. Part Three considers the influence of such key
institutions as churches, schools, and the state. Drawing on an
exceptionally wide range of primary sources, this is likely to be
the definitive overview of French society for many years to come
and will be of interest to researchers of French history and
European history.
