Themes in modern European history 17801830

Themes in Modern European History 17801830 is an authoritative and lively exploration of a period of revolution and war whose events have shaped modern Europe. It ranges from Revolutionary France to the Russian Empire tracing emerging conflicts over liberalism and nationalism. In a series of articles, six leading academics ask some controversial questions:

How far can it be said that the nineteenth century was shaped by the impact of the Napoleonic Wars rather than by the reforming projects of the Revolutionaries?

Was the conservative Europe of 1814 more an invention of the Romantic imagination than the restoration of the old regime?

Spanning political, social, economic and demographic facets of revolutions, this is an indispensable textbook for all students of the nineteenth century, and for all those interested in understanding the nature of Europe today.

Pamela M. Pilbeam is Reader in Modern European History at the University of London. She is the author of The Middle Classes in Europe 17891914 (1990), The 1830 Revolution in France (1991), and Republicanism in Nineteenth-Century France 181471 (1994).

Chapter 1

Introducing Europe in revolution and war

Pamela M. Pilbeam

Men are born free and remain free and equal in their rights. Social distinctions can only be founded on public utility. In the socially privileged Europe of the 1780s this confidently optimistic claim of the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789 was indeed revolutionary. Much of this volume will concern itself with the ways in which the Declaration was interpreted and neglected. The themes we shall consider include why the attempt to reform the French state led to cataclysmic revolution and military dictatorship, the impact of the 1789 Revolution and Bonapartist Empire, the expanding role of the state, the emergence of liberal, national and conservative ideas, and the significance of economic change and population growth.
