It adopts an unusual 'comparative micro-historical' approach in order to illuminate the manner in which country dwellers cut themselves loose from the congeries of local societies that made up the Ancien Régime, and attached themselves to the wider polity of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic state. The apprehensions and ambitions of six groups of villagers located in different parts of the kingdom are explored in close-up across the span of a single adult lifetime. Contrasting experiences form a large part of the analysis, but the story is ultimately one of fusion around a set of values that no individual villager could possibly have anticipated, whether in 1750 or 1789. The book is at once an institutional, a social and a political history of life in the village in an epoch of momentous change.New studies in European history.FrancePolitics and government1789-1815FranceRural conditions18th centuryFranceRural conditions19th centuryFranceSocial conditions18th centuryFranceSocial conditions19th centuryFranceHistoryLouis XV, 1715-1774FranceHistoryLouis XVI, 1774-1793FranceHistory1789-1815944.034Jones Peter1949-249438MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811576403321Liberty and locality in revolutionary France3971752UNINA
