  • The Huguenots of Paris and the Coming of Religious Freedom, 1685-1789, by David Garrioch

    W Doyle, W D DoyleARTICLEThe English Historical Review2015

    David Garrioch has spent most of his scholarly career investigating the everyday lives of Parisians over the last century of the ancien régime. His work has been marked by a warm sympathy for the practices and problems of the ordinary people of the capital, and obvious respect for how they got along with one another. He approaches the pre-revolutionary city on its own terms rather than, like too many subsequent historians, through the lurid prism…

  • Les Noblesses en France. Du XVIe au milieu du XIXe siecle

    W Doyle, W D DoyleARTICLEFrench History2014

    One of France’s leading authorities on nobles and nobilities, Michel Figeac offers a long-term overview of the changing structures, fortunes, and values of nobility in France from the late middle ages until the July Monarchy. His title is indicative of one of the book’s main themes: that there was never a unitary nobility at any time over this period, and that the overall character of this fragmented millefeuille (as he engagingly calls it) chang…

  • La Liberte guidant les peuples

    W Doyle, W D DoyleARTICLEThe English Historical Review2014

    Visitors to the Place de la Bastille in Paris are often surprised to learn that the great column in the middle, carrying a gilded figure of Liberty, does not commemorate the destruction in 1789 of the grim fortress that once stood there, but rather the trois glorieuses of 1830. Most probably wonder what these were. The Revolution of 1830, much less the disturbances elsewhere in Europe around the same time, has always been far less remembered than…

  • Traumatic Politics

    W Doyle, W D DoyleARTICLEThe English Historical Review2011

    It takes considerable courage for a historian with a well-established conventional reputation to venture into interpretative realms which most others would instinctively avoid. Barry M. Shapiro has spent most of his scholarly career immersed in the history of the French Constituent Assembly of 1789–91. He has an intimate knowledge of the Assembly's proceedings, and of their impact beyond its walls. His study of revolutionary justice in Paris (199…

  • Le negoce de la paix

    W Doyle, William E DoyleARTICLEThe English Historical Review2010

    It is quite some time since the Société des études robespierristes sponsored a publication having much to do with Robespierre. Saddled with this title by the partisan fervour of Albert Mathiez, the leading body of French historians of the Revolution retains too much ancestral piety to broaden its name. But the range of its publications, now called simply Collection des études révolutionnaires, extends far beyond not only Robespierre and his disci…

  • A Revolution in Commerce

    W Doyle, William E DoyleARTICLEThe English Historical Review2009

    The author of this thorough and thoughtful monograph teaches law, but enjoys honorary status in her university's department of history. She certainly straddles the two disciplines impressively. Although many of her pages read rather like law reports, and her translations from French are often somewhat wooden, she writes clearly, and is steeped in current transatlantic trends in the interpretation of eighteenth-century France. She takes mercantile…

  • The Bourgeois Revolution in France, 1789-1815

    W Doyle, William E DoyleARTICLEThe English Historical Review2007Cited by: 7

    The author of this book has clearly been boiling with anger for years over what he regards as the unjustifiable rejection by politically motivated right-wing historians of ‘the only interpretation of the French Revolution that can make sense of the existing historical research’. By that he means the classic interpretation which ‘following in the footsteps of Karl Marx... held that it was a bourgeois and capitalist revolution’. His aim is to rescu…
