Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Ultraroyalism in Toulouse by David Higgs This book examines in depth the form that ultraroyalism took in Toulouse. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Originally published in 1973. Ultraroyalism in Toulouse examines in detail the origins of ultraroyal hostility to the social and political changes rendered by the French Revolution. France has produced a variety of theories of decline, corresponding to the nations changing political fortunes in Europe and the world. The Revolution represented another, at least temporary, victory of the state apparatus over local community and privilege, and it stimulated the longing, apparent in all parts of the country after the fall of Napoleon, for a return to older forms of society and government that were essentially provincial and rural. The stevedores of Marseille, the fisherman of Brittany, and the peasants of the Auvergne saw plainly enough that the Revolution had not solved the problems of poverty and economic distress. Like the nobles, the ex-parlementarians, and the descendants of local oligarchies, they were hostile to the ascendancy of Paris. On all levels of French society were those who selectively remembered the best of the Old Regime, dwelt on the most obvious failures of the Revolutions religious and welfare policies, and blamed facile utilitarians who did not understand tradition for the destruction of the pre-1789 institutions. This book examines in depth the form that ultraroyalism took in Toulouse. Author Biography David Higgs was a professor of history at the University of Toronto. He specialized in social history, political history, queer studies, and cultural history in the Atlantic world. He also authored Nobles in Nineteenth-Century France.
