How did French people write about their own childhood and youth between the 1760s and the 1930s? Colin Heywood argues that this was a critical period, as generations moved from the hierarchical society of the Ancien Regime to a more fluid one produced by the revolutions of the period.
This 1995 book provides a concise account of the main features of French economic development between 1750 and 1914. Written in easily comprehensible jargon-free language, it makes clear the areas of controversy among historians, and presents succinct surveys of findings on the pattern of development and on the underlying causes of that pattern.
