Beginning with a discussion of familiar images of the French Revolution, garnered from Dickens, Baroness Orczy, & Tolstoy, as well as the legends of let them eat cake, & tricolours, Doyle leads the reader to the realization that we are still living with developments & consequences of the French Revolution such as decimalization, & the whole ideology of human rights. Continuing with a brief survey of the old regime & how it collapsed, Doyle continues to ellucidate how the revolution happened: why did the revolutionaries quarrel with the king, the church & the rest of Europe, why this produced Terror, & finally how it accomplished rule by a general. The revolution destroyed the age-old cultural, institutional & social structures in France & beyond. This book looks at how the ancien regime became ancien as well as examining cases in which achievement failed to match ambition. Doyle explores the legacy of the revolution in the form of rationality in public affairs & responsible government, & finishes his examination of the revolution with a discussion as to why it has been so controversial.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, & enthusiasm to make interesting & challenging topics highly readable. ...

The fall of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 has become the commemorative symbol of the French Revolution. But this violent & random act was unrepresentative of the real work of the early revolution, which was taking place ten miles west of Paris, in Versailles. There, the nobles, clergy & commoners of France had just declared themselves a republic, toppling a rotten system of aristocratic privilege & altering the course of history forever. The Revolution was led not by angry mobs, but by the best & brightest of France`s growing bourgeoisie: young, educated, ambitious. Their aim was not to destroy, but to build a better state. In just three months they drew up a Declaration of the Rights of Man, which was to become the archetype of all subsequent Declarations worldwide, & they instituted a system of locally elected administration for France which still survives today. They were determined to create an entirely new system of government, based on rights, equality & the rule of law. In the first three years of the Revolution they went a long way toward doing so. Then came Robespierre, the Terror & unspeakable acts of barbarism. In a clear, dispassionate & fast-moving narrative, Ian Davidson shows how & why the Revolutionaries, in just five years, spiralled from the best of the Enlightenment to tyranny & the Terror. The book reminds us that the Revolution was both an inspiration of the finest principles of a new democracy & an awful warning of what can happen when idealism goes wrong. ...
