The Notables and the Nation
The ending of absolute monarchy and the beginning of political combat between nobles and commoners make the years 1787 to 1788 the first stage of the French Revolution. In this detailed examination, Gruder looks at how the French people became engaged in a movement that culminated in demands for the public's role in government.

To facilitate the symbolic nature of the investigation, this analysis of the evolving s...
