Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-24 00:00:00 Grinblat Georges In-depth history of the politics and culture of France in the 19th century. The author demonstrates how France had to contend with both the legacy of the Revolution (and its Enlightenment antecedent) as well as a strong conservative faction that sought to protect the power of the traditional elites and the established Church. The author presents a very nuanced picture, and while the political sections of the book were largely the same as other histories of the period, the author presented a great deal of information about French culture during this period that was quite interesting.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-02-02 00:00:00 Joseph Mostella It would have been "great" instead of "good", had the author not bogged himself down with too many trifling (and rather dull) domestic details.
