Book Description
Excerpt from A Century of Revolution 1789-1920 Report has it that Louis XV once said, "Apres moi le deluge." In making this historic observation, however, he displayed no very startling powers of prevision, and his reading of the signs of the times might have been endorsed by any contemporary of average intelligence and education. Towards the end of the eighteenth century it must have been quite obvious that Europe had outgrown her institutions and that changes of a radical nature were perforce approaching, although the extreme imminence of the cyclone was perhaps a subject of general miscalculation. She was palpably oppressed by the survival of an obsolete civilization; her organization was still that of the Middle Ages, her society was still impregnated with the ancient principles of Feudalism and Catholicism, and she had not yet discarded practices and conventions which had lost their utility.

Lessons of the French Revolution, 1789-1872 (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 286
Book Description
Excerpt from Lessons of the French Revolution, 1789-1872 It is lowering to the pride of human reason, that such a profession of principles should be really descriptive of the opinions and purposes of large and influential classes of the French nation. It is melancholy to know that they should be maintained not merely by small sects like the Anabaptists of the sixteenth century, or the Mormons of Utah, but by powerful bodies of the leading nation of Conti neutal Europe Those who enter the lists in Opposition to the champions of these theories, will find that they have to deal with antagonists not only inspired with a wild enthusiasm, but gifted with great ingenuity and ability, enlisted in defence of these extravagant doctrines When once men desert the guide of experience, when they cease to consider human society, as built upon the certain principles existing in human nature itself, and when they suppose that they can reconstruct the world in accordance with their own views, there is no prac tical absurdity which their lively imaginations will not coin sophistries to defend. Experience never teaches them, the ruin of a thousand abortive schemes only stimulates them to construct the thousand and first, and they are ever ready to stake the very exist ence of society on the success of the last new scheme.

Echoes of the Marseillaise
Author: Eric HobsbawmPublisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1978802390
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
What was the French Revolution? Was it the triumph of Enlightenment humanist principles, or a violent reign of terror? Did it empower the common man, or just the bourgeoisie? And was it a turning point in world history, or a mere anomaly? E.J. Hobsbawm’s classic historiographic study—written at the very moment when a new set of revolutions swept through the Eastern Bloc and brought down the Iron Curtain—explores how the French Revolution was perceived over the following two centuries. He traces how the French Revolution became integral to nineteenth-century political discourse, when everyone from bourgeois liberals to radical socialists cited these historical events, even as they disagreed on what their meaning. And he considers why references to the French Revolution continued to inflame passions into the twentieth century, as a rhetorical touchstone for communist revolutionaries and as a boogeyman for social conservatives. Echoes of the Marseillaise is a stimulating examination of how the same events have been reimagined by different generations and factions to serve various political agendas. It will give readers a new appreciation for how the French Revolution not only made history, but also shaped our fundamental notions about history itself.
