Description - Revolutionary Europe, 1780-1850 by Jonathan Sperber
This major new survey provides a concise history of Europe during its age of Revolutions which extended from 1780s until 1850. Jonathan Sperber covers the major political events of this turbulent period, but he also looks at lives of ordinary people and considers broad social and economic developments. In particular he examines the relationships between the different revolutionary movements, showing how the French Revolution of 1789 set patterns which recurred over the following sixty years. ? Covers four major themes: the economic responses to the rapid rise in population; the transformation of the old regime to a civil society of property owners; the increase in state power and the often violent and dramatic struggles for political participation in an age of social crisis and cultural change? It offers a continent-wide history - looking at broad trends from the Atlantic to the Urals, and from the Baltic to the Mediterranean ? draws together the latest scholarship
