RÉVOLUTIONS FRANCAISES DU MOYEN ÂGE À NOS JOURS
Patrice Gueniffey François-Guillaume Lorrain
The history of the upheavals that have continuously pitted the French against the French from the Middle Ages onward. A timely analysis.
Absolute monarchy, Consulate, Empires, Presidential Republic France seems deeply committed to a certain vertical idea of power and its corollary: the guarantee of public order. However, this devotion coincides precisely with a chronic instability, testifying to the people's recurring rebellion against those in power, combined with a rivalry at the top that had long pitted the throne against the nobility, until the rise of the bourgeoisie changed the game and reshuffled the cards several times between 1789 and 1870. At last count, France has known two Empires, three types of monarchy (Ancien Régime, Restoration, July Monarchy) and five Republics.
What is the real history of these major upheavals that date back to the Middle Ages, of which the prolonged Yellow Vests crisis is the most recent manifestation? What role did the people play each time and, moreover, what people are we talking about? How did the government respond and with what forces? These are the questions, among many others, tackled by the best writers from the weekly magazine Le Point and Perrin in their authoritative essays.
