Beschreibung
This book examines the politics of the French Revolutionary tradition during the Bourbon Restoration and early July Monarchy. Robert Alexander argues that political change was achieved by legal grassroots organisation and persuasion - rather than by the revolutionary tradition of conspiracy and armed insurrection. Moreover, political struggle was not confined to the elite, as common material values linked the electorate to those deprived of the power to vote. Battle between advocates of national and royal sovereignty constituted the principal dynamic of the period, and fostered significant developments in party formation previously unrecognised by historians. To substantiate his claims, the author analyses relations among the Liberal Opposition, ultraroyalists and the state, concluding that although Liberals triumphed in the 1830 Revolution, thereafter they contributed to the destabilisation that produced an immobile Orleanist regime. Nevertheless, they had pioneered a model for change which could successfully adapt pursuit of reform to longing for civil order.

Zusammenfassung
This book examines the politics of the French Revolutionary tradition during the Bourbon Restoration and early July Monarchy in the early nineteenth century. The author argues that political struggle was not just confined to the elite, and that the Restoration Liberal Opposition developed a reform tradition based on legal organisation and persuasion, which would prove far more effective in achieving progressive change than the revolutionary tradition of conspiracy and insurrection. To support his claims, the author analyses relations among the Liberal Opposition, ultra-royalists and the state.
