Credits: 4
This course examines the political, social, and economic foundations of the Ancien Régime in France to uncover both its inherent weaknesses and contradictions and those eighteenth-century trends which arose in challenge to these foundations.

Particular attention focuses upon the aspirations and activities of the major social groups in the unfolding events and the continuing influence of the Revolution.
