With 118 illustrations, 14 in color ·It is hardly too much to describe this penetrating study as the first serious attempt to explain the character of the Ancien Regime since Tocqueville's classic account of 1856. The term was first used by contemporaries to describe retrospectively the social and political structure in France, which the Revolution destroyed. It is shown here to be applicable also to different countries at different dates-for example, to Russia at the end of the nineteenth century; but it is discussed principally in relation to France in the fateful years between 1748 and 1789. This is the study of a complex society-its economy, institutions, and beliefs, and their erosion by material and ideological change. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
