Europe 1780-1830 rapidly established itself as a standard introduction to European history in the age of the French Revolution and its aftermath when it first appeared almost 20 years ago.The half-century covered by the book constitutes one of the most complex, eventful and rapid periods of demolition and change to be found anywhere in Europe's past.Professor Ford explores the tensions throughout; and he gives his readers a powerful sense of the extraordinary energy, in every aspect of human activity, that characterized the time.
