A TRIUMPH OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT? Was Enlightenment thought an integral part of the French mentality on the eve of the Revolution? Was Enlightenment thought revolutionary? Did a revolutionary mentality exist on the eve of 1789? 2. A DEFEAT OF DESPOTISM? Was the monarchy capable of reform before 1787? Did the aristocrats victory in 1788 represent the triumph of liberal ideas or of traditional privilege? Did the monarchy abdicate all responsibility just before and during the early stages of the Revolution? 3. A VICTORY FOR THE BOURGEOISIE? Was there a class struggle between the nobility and the bourgeoisie before 1789? Was the political revolution of 1789 caused by the bourgeoisie? Was the social revolution of 1789 a bourgeois phenomenon? 4. A PEOPLE S REVOLUTION? Was the popular intervention of 1789 an unprecedented uprising by the poor? Why did Paris rise up in 1789? Did the rural upheavals of 1789 constitute an original and autonomous peasant revolution? A Logical Course of Events? 5. AN AVOIDABLE DERAILMENT? Was a constitutional monarchy viable in 1790? Did the revolutionary movement become radicalized before the flight to Varennes? Did the Revolutions reorganization of the Catholic church increase the risk of civil war? 6. AN IDEOLOGICAL WAR? Was revolutionary France responsible for its conflict with Europe? Was the mobilization of the people in 1792-93 favorable to the Revolution or the counterrevolution? Was the antagonism between the Girondins and the Montagnards insurmountable? 7. A LOGIC TO THE TERROR? Who were the instigators of the Terror, what was their program, and how was it carried out? Why did the Terror become bureaucratized? Why did the Jacobin dictatorship destroy itself on 9 thermidor? Ô. AN INEVITABLE DICTATORSHIP? Did the Thermidorean reaction mark the end of the Revolution? Was the liberal Directory a viable experiment? Was the Brumaire coup détat a fatal blow? Decisive Changes? 9. A N EW STAT E f Why did the French Revolution result in the establishment of a personal dictatorship? Was the administrative centralization achieved by the Revolution and Napoleon a carryover from the ancien regime? Did Napoleons regime eliminate all opposition? 10. A NEW SOCIETY? Did the Revolution ruin the French economy? Did the French Revolution result in a renewal of the elites? Did the French Revolution change the condition of the popular classes? 11 A CULTURAL REVOLUTION? Did the Revolution de-Christianize France? Did the French Revolution undermine the traditional family? Did the French Revolution create a new man? 12. AN IDEOLOGICAL LEGACY? Does the shadow of the Revolution color contemporary French politics? Did the French Republic originate from the Revolution? Can modern revolutions be traced back to the one in 1789? Conclusion Glossary Chronology Notes Index. ISBN 9780394580012 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 605. N° de réf. du vendeur 1234525
