Summary "The French Revolution 1789-1795" by Bertha Meriton Gardiner is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents a detailed examination of the events leading up to, during, and following the French Revolution, focusing on the significant political, social, and economic changes that occurred in France during this transformative period. It explores the actions, motivations, and ideologies of key figures and the broader societal dynamics at play, providing readers with an insightful overview of how the Revolution reshaped the nation. The opening of the book outlines the social and political landscape of France prior to the Revolution, emphasizing the deep divisions between the monarchy, the nobility, and the common people. It discusses the feudal system, the privileges enjoyed by the upper classes, and the widespread discontent among the populace, which had been fueled by poverty, oppression, and a growing desire for reform. Gardiner highlights the emergence of influential thinkers like Voltaire and Rousseau, whose ideas galvanized the educated classes and laid the groundwork for revolutionary change. The narrative sets the stage for the upcoming discussions in the States-General and the escalating tensions that would ultimately lead to the Revolution itself.
