Overture to Revolution

No reviews yet Write a Review
A clear analytical narrative of the French Assembly of Notables of 1787. John Hardman brings together the various facets of this seminal assembly, which have generally been considered in isolation (the king, the royal council, the Notables, the role of Necker, and of the public) into a single integrated account.

Description  
The Assembly of Notables which met between February and May 1787 was a major turning point in French, even world history: it was the first link in an unbroken chain which led to the French Revolution, which itself formed the template for the modern world. In the light of modern scholarship and the latest archival information, John Hardman integrates the various facets of this seminal assembly, which are often considered in isolation (the king, the royal council, the Notables, the role of Necker, and that of public opinion) into a lucid analytical narrative, interspersed with the Notables' critique of Calonne's measures as they were successively presented to them.
