One of the most lively of France's younger historians, Guy Chaussinand-Nogaret argues in this pioneering essay that the traditional picture of the pre-revolutionary French nobility as a caste of intransigent reactionaries and parasites is a fabrication of revolutionary propaganda. Using a whole range of new research and calculations, he argues that the nobility represented all that was most vigorous and forward-looking in eighteenth-century French society. Constantly renewing itself by recruiting the richest members of the middle classes or marrying their daughters, the nobility was in the forefront of French economic and intellectual life, and until 1789 was at the head of the movement for reform of the old regime state. In an afterword specially written for the English edition, the author explains how the revolutionaries came to turn against a group that had done more than any other to bring about the Revolution.

En parcourant le dictionnaire superflu à l'usage de l'élite et des biens nantis, le lecteur sera d'emblée frappé par la clarté de l'ouvrage, à tous points de vue. Il va de soi que les mots écartés du D.S.U.É (et des B.N.) ne l'ont pas été arbitrairement, mais à la suite d'un choix réfléchi de l'auteur, en accord avec lui-même et avec son chat sur les genoux. En ce qui concerne les noms propres, le choix, exempt de toute objectivité, a été dicté essentiellement par l'indifférence à peine polie qu'inspirent couramment à l'auteur les artistes inoubliables, les moments impérissables, les villes gorgées d'histoire et les grands révolutionnaires qui se sont fait couper la tête pour que les ouvriers puissent aller s'emmerder au Tréport en attendant septembre.
