Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 2013 OUP hardcover edition. Light reading wear, wear and small tear to edge of dustjacket else good condition. From the cover: For generations of historians, 1789 was a defining moment in world history and it has been said to mark, amongst other things, the triumph of the bourgeoisie, the birth of modernity, the rise of nationalism or even the invention of ideology. To explain an event of such magnitude it was understandable that historians should seek no less portentous explanations of its origins and that factors such as the rise of capitalism, class struggle or the impact of the Enlightenment were cited as the long-term causes of Revolution. In recent years, however, there has been a preoccupation with the actual course of the Revolution. The prevailing concern with political culture and gender as analytical tools has illuminated developments in Paris and in the French provinces, and has brought to prominence many themes inadequately explored during earlier scholarly generations. Rather less attention is given currently to how France was plunged into revolutionary turmoil, which is now taken largely as a 'given'. The present collection, by contrast, focuses once again upon the origins of the dramatic events within and beyond France which transformed later eighteenth-century Europe so comprehensively and established the terms of political and social struggle for the next two centuries. It presents a series of up-to-date essays which, collectively, provide a new interpretation of the origins of the Revolution. Uniquely among recent contributions to the field, this volume transcends national historiographical traditions and includes contributions by leading experts from France, Britain and the United States, giving it a breadth of approach which previous scholarship has lacked. Contents: Preface Introduction: The crisis of the absolute monarchy by Julian Swann How, and how not, to use the concept of crisis in the reign of Louis XVI by Jean-Pierre Poussou The end of a golden age or the implosion of a false absolutism? The Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia from absolutism to revolution, 1685-1814 by Michael Broers From servant of the king to 'idol of the nation': The breakdown of personal monarchy in Louis XVI's France by Julian Swann The marechal de Castries and the pre-revolution by Munro Price The problem with Necker's Compte rendu au roi (1781) by Joel Felix Necker and aristocratic constitutionalism: the British connection by Nigel Aston The culture of war in Europe, 1750-1815 by David A. Bell The Austrian alliance, the Seven Years' War and the emergence of a French 'national' foreign policy, 1756-1790 by Thomas E. Kaiser A model of conduct from the age of chivalry? Honour, international decline and the end of the Bourbon monarchy by Hamish Scott Franco-British naval rivalry and the crisis of the monarchy, 1759-1789 by Olivier Chaline 'Complaints lost in the wind' - French India and the crisis of the absolute monarchy: a global dimension? by Mike Rapport The Maison militaire du roi and the disintegration of the old regime by Guy Rowlands The crisis of the nobility at the twilight of the monarchy by Michel Figeac The making of a bourgeois identity?
