Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of cahiers de dolà ances, or grievance notebooks, from the various provinces of France as they were written in the spring of 1789. Each cahier contains the complaints and requests of the citizens of each province in advance of the meeting of the Estates General in May of that year, a body which would ultimately help to draft the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. These notebooks provide a unique glimpse into the social, political, and economic landscape of France on the eve of the Revolution, as well as the hopes and fears of its people. The breadth of topics covered, from taxation to the justice system to the regulation of trade and the tithe system, demonstrates both the deep social and economic discontent that had taken root in the French countryside and the extent to which the people were looking to the forthcoming assembly to address their concerns. The grievances expressed in these documents would go on to shape the political discussions of the summer of 1789 and beyond, ultimately helping both to fuel the fervor of the revolutionaries and shape the outcome of the Revolution.
