End of an Elite Ohm C

by Nigel Aston

This is the first scholarly study in English of the bishops of the French church at the outbreak of the French Revolution. Nigel Aston explores the role of the episcopate in national and provincial politics in the last years of the ancien regime and the part played by the bishops in the
early, critical stages of the Revolution. This is an intensively researched and immensely readable analysis of an elite with an elite, and its passing.
