For those who regard the French Revolution as tribal myth told and retold, this new interpretation will come as a shock.
Bosher situates the revolutionary struggle not in an atmosphere of sharp class alignment, but instead with socially mixed and transient groupings. He goes deeply into the pre-Revolutionary period, examining the stresses in the social and political order of the ancien regime, as well as the ideas of the wealthy that circulated in the salons and permeated the journals and leaflets read by the populace.
Central to the account is Professor Bosher's argument, novel and fully documented, that behind the tumult was a generation of revolutionaries whose revolution was not premeditated and a series of events that were anything but inevitable even once the powder keg was ignited.

The French Revolution
The French Revolution is still a swirling mass of politics, murder, and confusion for me. After the death of the king is the most difficult times for me to keep track of who is who and what is going on. I keep reading though to help me understand events. I grabbed this book from the library simply because of the subject. I found myself enjoying this one since it discussed mainly what happened to the French government as it moved from a monarchy, to a national assembly, to a dictatorship, and so on. How royal venal officials were moved to salaried civil servants was especially insightful for me. I felt somewhat lost when the author jumped subjects on me, however, that may be due to my lack of understanding or ability to keep track of events and persons of interest. Overall, a very informative book, but I must keep going since I am still kindof lost when it comes to our Frankish friends.
