Revolution and Environment in Southern France

In the forty years after the Revolution of 1789, the peasants and former seigneurs of the isolated and arid region of the Corbires, Languedoc, fought a protracted battle over the consequences of revolutionary change. This social conflict culminated in the murder of two nobles by a band of villagers in the aftermath of the Revolution of 1830. Professor McPhee's book offers important new perspectives on the French Revolution and its consequences.
