La période révolutionnaire demeure présente dans les mémoires comme dans les débats et sert de référence pour apprécier ce que nous vivons. La Révolution reste ainsi beaucoup plus clivante que les autres grands moments de notre histoire récente, nourrissant fantasmes et clichés. La Terreur et Robespierre qui en est tenu pour responsable, la guerre de Vendée et son assimilation aux massacres du XXe siècle, les affrontements mémoriels dès que tel personnage ou tel événement est proposé pour dénommer une rue témoignent qu'il n'y a ni oubli ni consensus, après plus de deux siècles. Il n'est pas assuré pour autant que cela soit à mettre au crédit de la Révolution en tant que telle : si elle retient notre attention, c'est pour toutes les questions sans réponse qu'elle suscite encore. Comme souvent, démontre avec brio Jean-Clément Martin, la présence du passé tient aux deuils inaccomplis. Non seulement la Révolution n'est pas terminée, mais le passé vit toujours dans le présent.

This book considers Karl Marx’s ideas in relation to the social and political context in which he lived and wrote. It emphasizes both the continuity of his commitment to the cause of full human emancipation, and the role of his critique of political economy in conceiving history to be the history of class struggles. The book follows his developing ideas from before he encountered political economy, through the politics of 1848 and the Bonapartist “farce,”, the maturation of the critique of political economy in the Grundrisse and Capital, and his engagement with the politics of the First International and the legacy of the Paris Commune. Notwithstanding errors in historical judgment largely reflecting the influence of dominant liberal historiography, Marx laid the foundations for a new social theory premised upon the historical consequences of alienation and the potential for human freedom.

To what extent did the French Revolution "revolutionize" the French family? In examining the changes in inheritance laws brought on by the Revolution, Margaret Darrow gives a lively account of the mixed effects legislation had on families of this period. As a test case, she has chosen the southern city of Montauban, whose Roman-based law enabling testators to appoint their heirs was contradicted by the new laws instituting equal inheritance. Filled with vivid anecdotes, this book shows how Montauban families in varying social classes adapted their financial strategies to cope with rapidly shifting circumstances, often creating solutions not envisioned by the legislators. With family history as its focus, Revolution in the House also provides a detailed social history of Montauban during the French Revolution. Its sources are archival, and its argument rests upon a statistical study of the making and unmaking of family fortunes across several generations. Darrow shows that in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the transmission of wealth expressed a way of life--on the social, political, religious, and economic levels--not only at the top of society but throughout the entire social order.Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
