The 18th century, still rooted in the survivals of the feudal era and heir to seemingly immovable structures, gradually distances itself from the old order. It opens up to a world expanded both by critical thought and scientific progress as well as by mercantile expansion and a robust and renewed economy. Europe enters modernity at uneven rhythms, with persistent social and mental inertias, but society evolves deeply, legal frameworks fracture, and darkness recedes, giving way to a new order.
Albert Marius Soboul was a historian of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic periods. A professor at the Sorbonne, he was chair of the History of the French Revolution and author of numerous influential works of history and historical interpretation. In his lifetime, he was internationally recognized as the foremost French authority on the Revolutionary era.
