Here for the first time in one volume is R. R. Palmer's magisterial account of this incendiary age. Palmer argues that the American, French, and Polish revolutions-and the movements for political change in Britain, Ireland, Holland, and elsewhere-were manifestations of similar political ideas, needs, and conflicts. Palmer traces the clash between an older form of society, marked by legalized social rank and hereditary or self-perpetuating elites, and a new form of society that placed a greater value on social mobility and legal equality. Featuring a new foreword by David Armitage, this Princeton Classics edition of The Age of the Democratic Revolution introduces a new generation of readers to this enduring work of political history. 410 0$aPrinceton classics. 606 $aRevolutions$zEurope$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aConstitutional history 607 $aEurope$xPolitics and government$y18th century 615 0$aRevolutions$xHistory 615 0$aConstitutional history. 676 $a940.25208 700 $aPalmer$b Robert Roswell$0288347 702 $aArmitage$b David 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786460103321 996 $aThe age of the democratic revolution$93754863 997 $aUNINA
