Napoleon and His Collaborators: The Making of a Dictatorship
This history explains how Napoleon forged a dictatorship and explores the dilemmas of collaboration, personal and political. The 18th Brumaire, November 9, 1799: with France in political and economic turmoil, a group of disaffected politicians enlisted the talented general Napoleon Bonaparte to lead a coup d'etat and establish confidence from below, authority from above. This is the story of how Napoleon managed his ascent from general of the Rep…

War, Revolution, and the Bureaucratic State: Politics and Army Administration in France, 1791-1799. Howard G. Brown , John Elliott
The New Regime: Transformations of the French Civic Order, 1789-1820s
Confident that they had broken with a discredited past, French revolutionaries after 1789 referred to pre-revolutionary times as the ancien regime (old regime). The National Assembly proclaimed the sovereignty of the people, grasping the reins of power and asserting the supremacy of law over all other interests. Even as the liberalism of 1789 collapsed into the Terror and then into the Napoleonic dictatorship, a new regime emerged at the juncture…
The French Revolution and the Meaning of Citizenship
Citizenship is a fundamental concept in social life, entailing rights, obligations, and relationships with others. Modern citizenship did not emerge from a philosopher's study or a laboratory experiment; instead, it was decisively shaped in the French Revolution. This book is about the processes by which that happened. The creation of a new kind of citizenship was not a simple act. The rights and obligations of citizens were going to be extensive…

On the Latent Illiberalism of the French Revolution
The Fall and Resurrection of the Civil Bar, 1789-1820s
Almost every element of the civic order-where state and society intersect-came under scrutiny during the French Revolution. Few institutions or traditions remained untouched, and the system of civil justice was no exception. Each regime after 1789 reshaped the hierarchy of tribunals as well as their number, location, and procedures, while modifying the selection, tenure, and roles of their judges, lawyers, and bailiffs. True, if one takes the lon…

Charity and Bienfaisance: The Treatment of the Poor in the Montpellier Region, 1740-1815
The Jacobin Clubs in the French Revolution: The First Years
Eighteenth-Century Europe: Tradition and Progress, 1715-1789
Drawing on the best contemporary scholarship, especially the innovations of French social history, Isser Woloch paints an unusually rich and detailed portrait of eighteenth-century European life and society. Among the new topics he covers are the family economy of the poor, popular culture and the circulation of books, changing patterns of crime and punishment, and the social history of military and religious institutions.
