France and 1848 - The End of Monarchy (Hardcover)

1848 was a year of revolution throughout Europe. In France, the monarchy of Louis Philippe was overthrown by revolution, manhood suffrage was proclaimed and the second republic was declared. In the subsequent elections, against all popular expectations, the right-wing candidates were victorious. In this comprehensive and authoritative study, which provides an analysis of original sources, considers recent research and offers new interpretations of events, William Fortescue explains why. Examining the economic, social and political crises, France and 1848: the end of monarchy evaluates the political history of France during the revolution of 1848 and the French political culture of the time. This work will be of interest to all students of nineteenth century European history, political scientists and all those with an interest in the historical development of French political culture.
