The Cultural Origins of the French Revolution

Renowned historian Roger Chartier, one of the most brilliant and productive of the younger generation of French historians now refashioning the Annales tradition, attempts in this book to analyze the causes of the French Revolution not simply by pinpointing its `cultural origins` but by investigating the conditions that `made it possible because conceivable.`Translated by Lydia G.
