Feudalism, Venality, and Revolution: Provincial Assemblies in Late-Old Regime France

by Stephen Miller

This book is about the most sweeping reform in the history of the French monarchy: the creation of assemblies at all levels of administration. The resistance of lords and office holders exposed their hereditary power over commoners, who sought to throw off their subordination when the crisis of the monarchy offered the opportunity in 1789.
