Book Synopsis
Magraw examines how the 19-century French bourgeoisie struggled and succeeded in consolidating the gains it made in 1789. Incorporating research on religion and anticlericalism, the devolopment of the economy, the role of women in society and the educational system, he defends the view that the French revolution was indeed a "bourgeois revolution".
