Review:
From the Back Cover:
'Sperber’s synthesis of the revolutionary era is extremely useful for advanced students. The book’s wide coverage is framed in an overarching, modern interpretation: The old-regime society of orders was replaced by a new civil society based on property ownership.'
Professor Marion Gray, Western Michigan University
'This splendid survey of a transformative period in European history is destined to serve as the introductory text of choice for a new generation of students. Jonathan Sperber writes with feeling, bringing his considerable expertise to bear in an insightful, comparative and balanced assessment of the sweeping changes that characterised the revolutionary era.'
Dr Katherine D. Watson, Oxford Brookes University
