The Fall of Robespierre: 24 Hours in Revolutionary Paris
L’idée du « complot » dans l’œuvre de Georges Lefebvre: Une remise en cause à partir d’une nouvelle source
Pour Georges Lefebvre, l’idée du « complot aristocratique » était sans aucun doute un élément central dans l’analyse du phénomène révolutionnaire. Ce thème semble avoir été développé pour la première fois dans son étude classique sur La Grande Peur de 1789 parue en 1932. Selon Lefebvre, à l’origine du mouvement de panique de juillet-août 1789 se trouve la croyance, largement répandue, à une machination secrètement élaborée par la noblesse pour so…

The Nobility and the Long-Term Origins of the French Revolution
This essay offers a series of brief reactions to Jonathan Dewald’s article. While underlining the importance of that article as a synthesis of recent research on the socioeconomic evolution of the French nobility during the last three centuries of the Old Regime, this comment questions to what degree it is helpful in explaining the putative “collapse” of the nobility in 1789 or the “framing” of the early Revolution.

The Work of Claude Langlois: An Overview
This article is conceived as an overview of the career and scholarship of Claude Langlois. It emphasizes the breadth, diversity, and volume of his work, giving particular attention to four fields in which Langlois made especially important contributions. These fields to some extent mark four phases of his scholarly career-although not necessarily in chronological order. These are historical religious sociology, the French Revolution, women and re…
Paths to Revolution: The Old Regime Correspondence of Five Future Revolutionaries
This study is based on a close reading of five of the relatively rare series of correspondence by future revolutionaries written during the ten to twenty years preceding 1789. It seeks to determine at what point these individuals began to make critical judgments about the political situation in the kingdom and to think of themselves as potential political players. It also asks what influences—cultural, social, political, or other—were most import…
The Cambridge History of Christianity
During the tumultuous period of world history from 1660 to 1815, three complex movements combined to bring a fundamental cultural reorientation to Europe and North America, and ultimately to the wider world. The Enlightenment transformed views of nature and of the human capacity to master nature. The religious reawakenings brought a revival of heart-felt, experiential Christianity. Finally revolution, the political and social upheavals of the lat…

When the King Took Flight
On a June night in 1791, King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette fled Paris in disguise, hoping to escape the mounting turmoil of the French Revolution. They were arrested by a small group of citizens a few miles from the Belgian border and forced to return to Paris. Two years later they would both die at the guillotine. It is this extraordinary story, and the events leading up to and away from it, that Tackett recounts in gripping novelistic style. …
Collective Panics in the Early French Revolution, 1789-1791: A Comparative Perspective
This article explores the geography and modalities of the chain‐reaction panic following Louis XVI's flight to Varennes in June 1791, especially by comparison with the Great Fear of 1789. The author generally accepts Lefebvre's classic study of the latter. However, he puts into question the importance of belief in an ‘aristocratic plot’ in the inception of the Fear, arguing that it originated far more from belief in an imminent collapse of law an…

Essays on the French Revolution: Paris and the Provinces
The overwhelming focus on Paris is probably nowhere in French studies more obvious than in treatments of the French Revolution. Until recently, with few exceptions, historians of the revolution have begun and ended with the events and philosophies of the capital. In this volume, however, the authors describe how men and women across France sometimes welcomed, often modified, but most often rejected policies emanating from Paris, thereby inflectin…
Reflections on the Revisionist Interpretation of the French Revolution
Within the historiographical debate that has marked the Bicentennial of the French Revolution there is a widely held opinion in both France and abroad that has triumphed over the traditional or Jacobin interpretation of the revolutionary era.

Ecclesiastical Structures and Clerical Geography on the Eve of the French Revolution
On March 25, 1817 the government of the Duc de Richelieu obtained passage of a law consolidating all pensions issued by the previous Revolutionary and Imperial regimes and requiring the Ministry of Finance to compile and publish a single alphabetical list of pension holders. The resultant compilation ran to ten large volumes, specifying the name, the date and place of birth, the place of residence, and the amount of and reason for the pensions of…
Le clergé de l'archidiocèse d'Embrun à la fin de l'Ancien Régime
Contrary to most 18th Century dioceses, where the recruitment of the Clergy dried up, that of Embrun, in the Alps, remained an abundant well of new priests, monks and friars. How were they recruited ? From among which social categories ? To what extent can this fact be explained by a spontaneous piety (strong as it was in this mountainous area) ? Or by the pressure of the economic and demographic difficulties ? Such are some of the problems studi…
The Coming of the French Revolution
The Coming of the French Revolution remains essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of this great turning point in the formation of the modern world. First published in 1939, on the eve of the Second World War, and suppressed by the Vichy government, this classic work explains what happened in France in 1789, the first year of the French Revolution. Georges Lefebvre wrote history "from below"-a Marxist approach. Here, he places the…
