The French Revolution 1789-1799, Vol 2: From the Jacobin Dictatorship to Napoleon: v. 2 (French Revolution, 1787-99) - Softcover
Synopsis
A modern and comprehensive history of the French Revolution, integrating the major advances of recent research, has been much needed. Albert Soboul's work has established itself as the new standard account of the great social explosion which started in 1789, and eventually transformed the whole political map of Europe.
Beginning with a penetrating diagnosis of the crisis of the Ancien Regime and the suicidal revolt of the French aristocracy against the monarchy, Soboul shows how the summoning of the Estates-General unleashed both a classical bourgeois revolution and an elemental popular uprising in the countryside and towns. The rapid and tumultuous succession of upheavals which shook France over the next decade, from the fall of the Bastille to the founding of the Consulate, are each in turn lucidly distinguished and analysed. The abolition of feudal privileges, the overthrow of the monarchy, the impact of foreign intervention and the revolutionary wars, the rise and fall of the Girondins, the Jacobin dictatorship, the Terror, the reaction of the Thermidor and the Directory, and Napoleon's coup d'etat - all are fully recounted and firmly situated within the broader social and economic processes of the time. Soboul's own celebrated work on the Parisian sansculottes uniquely qualifies him to explore the popular depths of the Revolution, and the dialectic of masses, cadres and leaders which finally determined the course and fate of the Republic.

About the Author
Albert Soboul was born into a peasant family in the Cévennes in 1914.

In 1967 he became Professor of the History of the French Revolution at the Sorbonne. He is now also President of the Société des Etudes robespierristes, and General Secretary of the Annale historique de la Révolution Française.
