The book translated here should be regarded more as a synopsis of Professor Soboul's interpretation of the Revolution than as a detailed account of the course of events; it is an essay in analysis rather than a narrative. In it the author argues that the French Revolution can only be understood in terms of class struggle, and that any attempt to diminish the significance of class conflict as its motive force obscures the meaning of the events of the Revolution and rends them ultimately incomprehensible.The course of the Revolution and its final outcome, which was clear by the time Napoleon seized power in 1799, were the products of a complex class struggle enacted simultaneously on many levels, leading finally to the triumph of the bourgeoisie, the defeat of the aristocracy, and the fragmentation and collapse of the popular forces, who as the allies of the bourgeoisie had played a vital part in securing its victory. Professor Soboul shows that although the Revolution was caused initially by specific factors peculiar to the structure of French society at the end of the Old Regime, it came to constitute the definitive type of the bourgeois revolution and opened the way for the ascendary of industrial capitalism in the next century, not merely in France, but in the rest of Europe and the world at large.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49650966069521,"sku":"GOR002099622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49660627714321,"sku":"GOR006627024","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49664072450321,"sku":"GOR003076981","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49781321400593,"sku":"CIN0520034198G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53521207591185,"sku":"NLS9780520034198","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53532808937745,"sku":"CIN0520034198VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0520034198.jpg?v=1751986118"},{"product_id":"sans-culottes-book-albert-soboul-9780691007823","title":"The Sans-Culottes","description":"A phenomenon of the pre-industrial age, the Sans-Culottes--master craftsmen, shopkeepers, small merchants, domestic servants--were as hostile to the ideas of capitalist bourgeoisie as they were to those of the ancien regime which was overthrown in the first years of the Revolution.

Beginning with a penetrating diagnosis of the crisis of the Ancien Regime and the suicidal revolt of the French aristocracy against the monarchy, Soboul shows how the summoning of the Estates-General unleashed both a classical bourgeois revolution and an elemental popular uprising in the countryside and towns. The rapid and tumultuous succession of upheavals which shook France over the next decade, from the fall of the Bastille to the founding of the Consulate, are each in turn lucidly distinguished and analysed. The abolition of feudal privileges, the overthrow of the monarchy, the impact of foreign intervention and the revolutionary wars, the rise and fall of the Girondins, the Jacobin dictatorship, the Terror, the reaction of the Thermidor and the Directory, and Napoleon's coup d'etat - all are fully recounted and firmly situated within the broader social and economic processes of the time. Soboul's own celebrated work on the Parisian sansculottes uniquely qualifies him to explore the popular depths of the Revolution, and the dialectic of masses, cadres and leaders which finally determined the course and fate of the Republic.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49863899382033,"sku":"GOR002546619","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49906918228241,"sku":"GOR007770510","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0902308750.jpg?v=1750704774"},{"product_id":"short-history-of-the-french-revolution-1789-99-book-albert-soboul-9780520028555","title":"Short History of the French Revolution, 1789-99","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49871721070865,"sku":"GOR013803721","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50482945294609,"sku":"GOR013793800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0520028554.jpg?v=1751293217"},{"product_id":"the-parisian-sans-culottes-and-the-french-revolution-1793-4-rare-book-albert-soboul-1707724160bws","title":"The Parisian Sans-Culottes and the French Revolution,1793-4","description":"1964.
