Re-Writing the French Revolutionary Tradition: Liberal Opposition and the Fall of the Bourbon Monarchy (New Studies in European History) Book

This book examines the politics of the French Revolutionary tradition during the Bourbon Restoration and early July Monarchy in the early nineteenth century. The author argues that political struggle was not just confined to the elite, and that the Restoration Liberal Opposition developed a reform tradition based on legal organisation and persuasion, which would prove far more effective in achieving progressive change than the revolutionary tradition of conspiracy and insurrection. To support his claims, the author analyses relations among the Liberal Opposition, ultra-royalists and the state.Read More
