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 Re?gime, 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. 410 0$aNew studies in European history. 517 3 $aLiberty & Locality in Revolutionary France 607 $aFrance$xPolitics and government$y1789-1815 607 $aFrance$xRural conditions$y18th century 607 $aFrance$xRural conditions$y19th century 607 $aFrance$xSocial conditions$y18th century 607 $aFrance$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yLouis XV, 1715-1774 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yLouis XVI, 1774-1793 607 $aFrance$xHistory$y1789-1815 676 $a944.034 700 $aJones$b Peter$f1949-$0249438 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783232803321 996 $aLiberty and locality in revolutionary France$93837032 997 $aUNINA
