Acerca de este libro electrónico
""Monarchy vs Republic: France 1789-1799"" explores the clash between absolute monarchy and republican ideals during the French Revolution. It dissects the philosophical underpinnings of each system, contrasting the Divine Right of Kings with Enlightenment concepts like popular sovereignty and the social contract. The book highlights the shift from a rigid social hierarchy to a society theoretically based on equality.
This pivotal decade witnessed France's unprecedented experiment in self-governance, forever altering European political thought. The book examines the revolution's key events, from the storming of the Bastille to the Reign of Terror, alongside the rise and fall of various republican experiments. It analyzes primary sources like pamphlets and speeches, along with visual culture, to reveal shifting public opinion.
The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with pre-revolutionary discontent and concluding with Napoleon Bonaparte's ascent. The book argues that, despite its turmoil, the revolution marked a fundamental shift towards modern democratic ideals. By exploring the nuances and contradictions of this era, ""Monarchy vs Republic"" provides a fresh perspective on the revolution, moving beyond simplistic narratives to analyze the complex interplay of ideologies and power structures. It offers valuable insights into the enduring tension between established authority and popular will, making it relevant for students, scholars, and anyone interested in world history and political science.
