Synopsis
Excerpt from Revolutionary Europe: 1789-1815
In this volume I have endeavoured to write a history of Europe during an important period of transition. I have reduced military details to the smallest possible limits, and have preferred to mention rather than to describe battles and campaigns, in order to have more space to devote to such questions as the Belgian revolution of 1789, the reorganisation of Prussia in 1806-12, and the Congress of Vienna. I have throughout tried to describe the French Revolution in its influence on Europe, and Napoleon's career as a great reformer rather than as a great conqueror. The inner meaning of the period and its general results I have sketched in a short introductory chapter, on which the rest of the volume is really a detailed historical commentary.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the period between 1789 and 1815, a transformative era characterized by the emergence of sovereignty of the people, the concept of nationality, and the principle of personal liberty. Shifting away from the dominant absolutism of the 18th century, this period witnessed a shift towards democratic ideals and individual freedoms. The author meticulously details how these principles were shaped by the thinkers and writers of the time, leading to major political and social upheavals, including the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. The book astutely analyzes the complex interplay between ideas, events, and outcomes, demonstrating their lasting impact on the course of European history. It concludes by emphasizing how this era laid the groundwork for modern political thought and the challenges and opportunities it presented for individuals and nations alike.
