The Peasantry in the French Revolution by P M Jones
This book fills the gap in the literature of the French Revolution, and offers a synthesis which brings together the fruits of two generation's research in the field of French rural and agrarian history. George Lefebvre's contention that the peasantry occupied the centre-stage during the early years of the revolution is vindicated.
'While modestly claiming that his work is not based on original research, this book renews our understanding of the subjectWith an acute sense of region, a preoccupation with politics and culture, the author continues a chronological and thematic approach which is stimulating as well as informative. In a conclusion, boldly termed 'the balance sheet', he examines the complexities of this vast experience with perceptive shrewdness. This is undoubtedly the finest book to appear, so far, in English, in these busy commemorative years of the Revolution.' Douglas Johnson, The Times Educational Supplement
