1848 In France
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket - paperback. Page Condition: Good.
A pivotal entry in the Documents of Revolution series, 1848 in France presents a carefully curated collection of primary source documents that chronicle one of the most dramatic political upheavals in nineteenth-century European history. Edited by Roger Price under the general editorship of Heinz Lubasz, the volume brings together proclamations, speeches, press extracts, and eyewitness accounts that illuminate the February Revolution, the rise of the Second Republic, and the bloody June Days. Price's selection illustrates the deep social and class tensions that drove French workers, republicans, and conservatives into violent confrontation, ultimately reshaping the political landscape of France. The documentary approach grants readers direct access to the voices of the period — from radical socialists to conservative reactionaries — making it an indispensable resource for students and scholars of modern European history. Authoritative in scope yet accessible in presentation, this anthology argues powerfully for the enduring significance of 1848 as a turning point in the struggle for democratic governance across Europe.
