It is generally assumed that social revolutions must be good for the poor. To suggest the contrary is to appear wilfully paradoxical. After all, revolutionaries assert, and most of them probably believe, that their new order will be especially favourable to those who are least able to look after themselves. Their intentions may be benevolent enough, but the effects of their policies on the lives of ordinary people are another matter. Even if the change is for the better in the long run, a transition period of confusion, loss of business confidence or unskilful planning, can be catastrophic for those who have the fewest reserves. When Burke wrote of the impossibility of supplying the poor with "those necessaries which it has pleased the Divine Providence for a while to withhold from them," he must have known that those from whom "necessaries" are withheld may not be there when they become available again. Revolutionary leaders, even if they do not share Burke's views on Providence, are sometimes to be found on the same tack, urging their followers to forget about what Robespierre called "chétives marchandises" and to sacrifice the present for a glorious future, at least for the survivors. Alan Forrest's study of how the French Revolution actually affected the poor allows us to study one case in some detail. ~~Norman Hampson (London Review of Books), Hardcover, Ausgabe: First Edition, Label: St. Martin's Press, St. Martin's Press, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1981, Studio: St. Martin's Press, Verkaufsrang: 3703708.

This book provides an interpretation of the achievement of the French Revolution that is both thematic and accessible to the general reader. The revolutionaries, even the most extreme among them, were committed to an ordered society, and in destroying the political institutions and the corporate structures of the Ancien Regime, they were conscious of the need to invent a new order of their own, one that would be consistent with their ideology. Chapters focus on the initial crisis of 1789, on the political and social experiments of the revolutionary years, and on the impact of war and counter-revolution. The period examined is from 1789 to 1799, looking forward where appropriate to the Napoleonic Empire.

18th century,19th century,europe,france,history,humanities,modern (16th-21st centuries),textbooks,world, The French Revolution (Historical Association Studies), This book is structured around a number of important themes which run across the revolutionary decade, most notably the themes of political and social change. Alan Forrest's book offers an interpretation of the historiography of the subject and reviews the copious literature resulting from the recent Bicentenary. Unlike some recent histories, it insists that the Revolution had a significant social dimension. Divided into five main sections, the book examines the ideals which informed the work of the revolutionaries and the process by which they sought to dismantle the ancient regime and build a new order in France. It assesses the impact of war and counter-revolution, which in their different ways distorted the revolutionary agenda and contributed to the mood of nationalism, intolerance and terror that characterized the months of the Jacobin Republic.
