Ancien Regime And The French Revolution
Writing in the 1850s, Alexis de Tocqueville wished to expose the return to despotism he witnessed in his own time under Napoleon III, by illuminating the grand, but ultimately doomed, call to liberty made by the French people in 1789. This work provides a comparison of revolutionary France and the despotic rule it toppled.
