The New Regime: Transformations of the French Civic Order, 1789-1820s

By Isser Woloch

Book Overview

In the flush of their enthusiasm, French Revolutionaries after 1789 referred to pre-Revolutionary times as the Ancien Regime. While exaggerating their capacity to break with the past, they did indeed construct a new regime at the juncture of state and civil society. This study investigates the development of a new civic order, and traces the New Regime's evolving civic values, policies and institutions.
