The Huguenots of Paris and the Coming of Religious Freedom, 1685–1789
This book investigates the reasons why the Catholic population of Paris increasingly tolerated the minority Protestant Huguenot population between 1685 and 1789.
The People's Revolution of 1789
The People's Revolution of 1789 analyzes the historic events that unleashed a vast panoply of anarchic, destructive, and creative disorders that demolished France's Old Regime and founded a new revolutionary order. It captures the complex and dynamic interplay of uprisings, elections, meetings, and revolutionary moments that helped create modern freedom. The People's Revolution of 1789 is the first book to chronicle the Parisian, provincial, and colonial movements of 1789 together. In doing so, Micah Alpaugh builds from hundreds of local and regional studies and sources on the French Revolution to provide a new interpretation of the powerful contestations that created the modern revolutionar...
Strangers and Neighbours

The Oxford Handbook of the French Revolution
The Oxford Handbook of the French Revolution brings together a sweeping range of expert and innovative contributions to offer engaging and thought-provoking insights into the history and historiography of this epochal event. Each chapter presents the foremost summations of academic thinking on key topics, along with stimulating and provocative interpretations and suggestions for future research directions. Placing core dimensions of the history of the French Revolution in their transnational and global contexts, the contributors demonstrate that revolutionary times demand close analysis of sometimes tiny groups of key political actors - whether the king and his ministers or the besieged lead...
Scandal in the Parish
In 1770, the priest Nicolas Vernier was accused of neglecting church services, inappropriate behaviour in the confessional, financial improprieties, and affairs with the village schoolmistresses. In a contentious church court case, parishioners described all of their priest's wrongdoings, and in turn, he detailed many of theirs. Ultimately, Vernier finished his career as a cathedral canon in another diocese. Scandal in the Parish recounts Vernier's story and many similar eighteenth-century cases. In fascinating detail that reveals essential facets of rural religion during the Catholic Reformation period, Karen Carter considers French lay people's relationship with their parish curé, who gov...
Liberty or Death
A strinking account of the impact of the French Revolution in Paris, across the French countryside, and around the globe The French Revolution has fascinated, perplexed, and inspired for more than two centuries. It was a seismic event that radically transformed France and launched shock waves across the world. In this provocative new history, Peter McPhee draws on a lifetime’s study of eighteenth-century France and Europe to create an entirely fresh account of the world’s first great modern revolution—its origins, drama, complexity, and significance. Was the Revolution a major turning point in French—even world—history, or was it instead a protracted period of violent upheaval and ...
L'événement le plus important de la Révolution
En mettant en vente les biens mis à la disposition de la Nation aux dépens du clergé puis des émigrés, les révolutionnaires provoquèrent un gigantesque transfert de propriété dont Georges Lecarpentier affirmait, au début XXe siècle, qu’il était « l’événement le plus important de la Révolution ». Après un bilan historiographique (de Tocqueville à Jaurès, de Georges Lefebvre à Albert Soboul et Michel Vovelle) et l’évocation des nouvelles méthodes de dépouillement utilisant l’informatique, les auteurs proposent une synthèses des 850 monographies consacrées à la vente des biens nationaux depuis plus d’un siècle. S’appuyant sur un impressionnant appareil statistique et cartographique, ce livre permet enfin une lecture d’ensemble des modalités et des résultats de ce qui fut et demeure la plus vaste opération foncière jamais entreprise. Cet ouvrage, contribution très attendue à la compréhension de l’histoire de la Révolution, étend son regard au-delà du fait révolutionnaire lui même, pour éclairer des relations sociales dans la France rurale du XIXe siècle, voire d’une partie du XXe.
Les fermiers : la classe sociale oubliée
La noblesse, le clergé et le tiers état. Cette tripartition de l’Ancien Régime, et la bipolarisation du tiers état entre peuple et possédants, jusqu’ici admises, sont remises en cause par cette œuvre magistrale de Jérôme Fehrenbach, que n’aurait d’ailleurs pas renié Fernand Braudel. Les «?grands fermiers?» auraient été aussi importants et auraient même constitué une classe à part et singulière. Avant la Révolution française s’intercale, entre propriétaires et travailleurs, cette classe moyenne avant la lettre. Ils organisent les campagnes, donnent du travail, sont les seuls capables d’approvisionner les villes en dizaines de tonnes de grain. Aussi à l’aise ...
