Elections occupied an important place in the French Revolution, yet, until recently, they have received little attention. This book, the first on the subject in English, explores all types of elections from 1789 to 1799 and is based on extensive research in the different regions of France. It is primarily concerned with electoral behavior, an aspect of modern citizenship of great interest to historians and political scientists, the main audience for this pioneering study of Europe's first apprenticeship in democracy.

This is the first book in the English language to explore the vital but neglected issue of elections in the French Revolution. Based on extensive research in different regions of France, it is the only general survey to examine the full range of local and national contests, from the Estates General of 1789 to the advent of Napoleon a decade later.
"Crook provides the only thorough treatment of elections during the French Revolution....This in one of those rare books that seizes the attention, changes ways of thinking, and leaves one enlightened." Choice
"I have no hesitation in saying that Malcolm Crook's Elections in the French Revolution is one of the half-dozen most important books on the French Revolution to appear in English in the past twenty-five years....Any academic library that offers any support at any official or unofficial, formal or informal level of study of the French Revolution must make available to its clientele this extremely important, well-written, and thoroughly and imaginatively researched book, for its impact will long be essential."
