Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the changes that swept through Saint-Etienne and its surrounding region during the tumultuous final years of the French monarchy. Focusing on the area's unique history of local self-governance under feudalism, the author traces the influence of the 1787 provincial reforms up to the pivotal moment of representation at the Estates-General of 1789. The book offers an in-depth examination of the region's struggle to break from centuries-old feudal practices, such as the division of power between ecclesiastical and secular lords, the corvee tax, and the economic privilege of the non-taxable classes. Amidst these local struggles, the book also sheds light on the broader changes that were taking place throughout France, including the rise of the Tiers-Etat and the compelling arguments for a more equitable distribution of power.
