Revolutionary Europe 1780–1850

Revolutionary Europe, 1780-1850 provides a continent-wide history of the key political events of this turbulent period. Jonathan Sperber focuses on the lives of ordinary people and considers the broader social and economic developments. In particular he examines the relationships between the different revolutionary movements, showing how the French Revolution of 1789 set patterns which recurred over the following sixty years. This second edition is fully revised and updated to include coverage of Europe's involvement in New World slavery, particularly in Haiti and comprehensive maps for the 1820, 1830 and 1848 revolutions and the uprisings of 1849-51.
