Krátky popis
A brilliant account of the coming of the French Revolution, and the
culminating work of this most distinguished historian 'Events do
not come naked into the world. They come clothed - in attitudes,
assumptions, values, memories of the past, anticipations of the
future, hopes and fears and many other emotions. To understand
events, it is necessary to describe the perceptions that accompany
them, for the two are inseparable.'When a Parisian crowd stormed
the Bastille in July 1789, it triggered an event of global
consequence: the overthrow of the monarchy and the birth of a new
society.Most historians account for the French Revolution by
viewing it as the outcome of underlying conditions such as a
faltering economy, class conflict or Enlightenment ideology.
Without denying any of these, Robert Darnton offers a different
explanation: what Parisians themselves, those at the centre of the
Revolution, thought was happening at the time and how it guided
their actions. To understand the rise of what he calls 'the
revolutionary temper', Darnton draws on a lifetime's study of
pamphlets, books, underground newsletters, songs and public
performances, exploring Paris as an information society not unlike
our own.Its news circuits were centred in cafes and market-places,
on park benches, and under the Palais-Royal's Tree of Cracow, a
favourite gathering-place for gossips. He shows how the events of
forty years - from disastrous treaties, official corruption and
royal scandal to thrilling hot-air balloon ascents and a new
conception of the nation - all entered the collective consciousness
of ordinary Parisians. As news and opinion travelled across this
profoundly unequal society, public trust in royal authority eroded,
its legitimacy was undermined, and the social order unravelled.Much
of Robert Darnton's work has explained the hidden dynamics of
history, never more so than in this exceptional book. It is a
riveting narrative, but it adds a new dimension, the perceptions of
contemporary Parisians, which allows us to see these momentous
decades afresh.
