• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Revolutionary Europe 1780-1850 provides a continent-wide history of the key political events of this turbulent period. Jonathan Sperber focuses on the lives of ordinary people and considers the broader social and economic developments. In particular he examines the relationships between the different revolutionary movements, showing how the French Revolution of 1789 set patterns which recurred over the following sixty years. This second edition is fully revised and updated to include coverage of Europe's involvement in New World slavery, particularly in Haiti and comprehensive maps for the 1820, 1830 and 1848 revolutions and the uprisings of 1849-51.

Rezensionen

'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
