Elections occupied an important place in the French Revolution, yet, until recently, they have received little attention. This book, the first on the subject in English, explores all types of elections from 1789 to 1799 and is based on extensive research in the different regions of France. It is primarily concerned with electoral behavior, an aspect of modern citizenship of great interest to historians and political scientists, the main audience for this pioneering study of Europe's first apprenticeship in democracy. | Elections in the French Revolution by Malcolm Crook, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
