Excerpt from Saint-Étienne Et Son District Pendant la Révolution, Vol. 1
Nombre de faits que je raconte, je les savais de vous. J'y ai ajouté la précision historique, mais qui me rendra l'émotion des récits que je n'entendrai plus? Vous même, vous regrettiez tant de n'avoir pas assez gardé, de votre tolère, le souvenir de cette histoire qui avait tant impres sion né sa jeunesse et qui l'avait fait pleurer.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the changes that swept through Saint-Etienne and its surrounding region during the tumultuous final years of the French monarchy. Focusing on the area's unique history of local self-governance under feudalism, the author traces the influence of the 1787 provincial reforms up to the pivotal moment of representation at the Estates-General of 1789. The book offers an in-depth examination of the region's struggle to break from centuries-old feudal practices, such as the division of power between ecclesiastical and secular lords, the corvee tax, and the economic privilege of the non-taxable classes. Amidst these local struggles, the book also sheds light on the broader changes that were taking place throughout France, including the rise of the Tiers-Etat and the compelling arguments for a more equitable distribution of power.
