Opis

In the forty years after the Revolution of 1789, the peasants and former seigneurs of the isolated region of the Corbieres, Languedoc, fought a protracted battle over the consequences of revolutionary change. This social conflict culminated in the murder of two nobles by a band of villagers in the aftermath of the Revolution of 1830. This book offers important new perspectives on the French Revolution and its consequences.

The book's broad coverage, and its astute linkage of local and national events, will certainly appeal to historians of the revolutionary era ... creative and eminently readable.
