Description for Republicanism in Nineteenth Century France

Series: European Studies. Num Pages: 392 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HBJD; HBLL; JPF; JPHV. Category: (UA) A / AS level; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 138 x 0. Weight in Grams: 498.
This book is a fascinating survey of nineteenth-century republicanism, the first of its kind this century. It investigates why it was that although France was one of the first countries in modern Europe to become a republic in 1792, it was nearly a hundred years before a republic was acceptable to the majority. Pamela Pilbeam suggests that republicanism was a witch's brew of Enlightenment rationality, bloody memories and conflicting socialist expectations. The book concludes that the successful republic of 1871 used the rhetoric of democracy to conceal persistent elitism.
