Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the use of 18th-century tax records by historians to study the distribution of land ownership in France before the Revolution. It examines the methodology used in collecting these tax records, known as vingtià mes, and demonstrates how unreliable they are for accurately quantifying the amount of land owned by peasants. The author provides ample evidence to show that the records were often inaccurate, incomplete, and biased towards underestimating peasant landownership. This has significant implications for our understanding of the extent of social and economic inequality in pre-revolutionary France. The book also discusses the broader context of these records, providing valuable insights into the history of taxation and landownership in France. Ultimately, it offers a more nuanced and accurate perspective on the social and economic conditions of the French peasantry before the Revolution.
