Description
Jonathan Sperber's Revolutionary Europe 1780-1850 is a comprehensive history of Europe during a pivotal period in its development. This fully revised and updated second edition covers the key political events and social transformations that took place from the end of the old regime to the outcome of the revolutions of 1848. The book explores the movement towards a civil society of property owners, the impact of rapid population increase and market relations on the economy, and their effects on political life. It also examines the lives of ordinary people amidst these social and economic developments, set against the backdrop of dramatic reforms and peaceful mass movements. The book features detailed maps illustrating the changes in Europe's geographic scope between 1789 and 1848. Suitable for students of the history of the French Revolution and European history more broadly, this book provides a lively account of the events of the period and a thorough analysis of the transformations that shaped them.
