This book studies the Ancien RÃ gime of France through a direct examination of the society that structured the final years leading up to the French Revolution. Through exploration of the period's main social classesâ"the court, the city, and the provincesâ"the author argues that this society was not the den of vice and incompetence often portrayed, but rather a complex and dynamic system exhibiting qualities of honor, piety, respect, and gaiety. It is through scrutiny of primary source materialâ"such as diaries, correspondences, and speechesâ"that the author paints a vivid portrait of French society. This is not a sterile profile of institutions and laws, but rather a living, breathing depiction of the individuals that made up the French landscape just before the cataclysm of the French Revolution. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of the strengths and flaws of French society, and sheds new light on the historical narrative surrounding the fall of the Ancien RÃ gime.
