The classic book that restored the voices of ordinary people to our understanding of the French Revolution
The Coming of the French Revolution remains essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of this great turning point in the formation of the modern world. First published in 1939 on the eve of the Second World War and suppressed by the Vichy government, this classic work explains what happened in France in 1789, the first year of the French Revolution. Georges Lefebvre wrote history "from below"--a Marxist approach--and in this book he places the peasantry at the center of his analysis, emphasizing the class struggles in France and the significant role they played in the coming of the revolution. Eloquently translated by the historian R. R. Palmer and featuring an introduction by Timothy Tackett that provides a concise intellectual biography of Lefebvre and a critical appraisal of the book, this Princeton Classics edition offers perennial insights into democracy, dictatorship, and insurrection.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Princeton University PressISBN-13:9780691168463ISBN-10:691168466UPC:9780691168463Book Category:HistoryBook Subcategory:Europe, MilitaryBook Topic:France, Revolutions & Wars of IndependenceSize:8.40 x 5.50 x 0.60 inchesWeight:0.7Product ID:SCK9B7R5YW
