Book Description:
Although the French Revolution started with the resistance of a minority to absolutist government, it soon spread to involve the whole nation and the men and women who made up by far the largest part of it were the peasantry. The French Revolution and the People is a portrait of the common people of France, and of their engagement in revolutionary struggle in town and country: from Paris to Lyon to the Vendée and the other regions of France. Peasants and townsfolk formed the ranks of revolutionary patriot armies, and fought as counterrevolutionary guerrillas for church and king. Others fought only for the right to be left alone. The French Revolution and the People is a vivid story of conflict, violence, and death, but also a story of the people's eventual triumph for freedom and prosperity.
About the Author:
David Andress is Professor of Modern European History at the University of Portsmouth. He is the author of The Terror: The Merciless War for Freedom in Revolutionary France (FSG, 2006).

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The French Revolution of 1789 was the central event of modern history. Although the Revolution started with the resistance of a minority to absolutist government, it soon spread to involve the whole nation, including the men and women who made up by far the largest part of it - the peasantry, as well as townspeople and craftsmen, the poor and those living on the margins of society. The French Revolution and the People is a portrait of the common people of France, in the towns and in the countryside; in Paris and Lyon; in the Vendee, Brittany, Provence. Popular grievances and reactions affected the events and outcome of the Revolution at all stages, and in turn everyone in France was affected by the Revolution. The French Revolution and the People tells a vivid story of conflict, violence and death, as the injustices of the Ancien Regime were thrown off. The French Revolution of 1789 was the central event of modern history. This work paints a portrait of the common people of France, in the towns and in the countryside; in Paris and Lyon; in the Vendee, Britanny, Provence. It is a story of conflict, violence and death, but there were winners as well as losers and not all the suffering was in vain.
