Why was there a Revolution in France in 1789? Why did it prove so difficult to stabilize the Revolution after 1789? When was it 'over'? And how 'revolutionary' was the French Revolution? This lively book sets out to answer these and other fundamentals questions posed by historians of the French Revolution of 1789-1799. Peter McPhee also emphasizes the repercussions of the Revolution on the practices of daily life, women's experiences during this period, and the impact of the Revolution on rural society and the environment. Surveying the central debates among historians and providing his own analysis of this critical period in French history, his book provides a balanced account of the origins, nature, and consequences of the Revolution for all students of the subject.
