This book, first published in 2000, offers a lucid interpretation of the Ancien Régime and the origins of the French Revolution. Drawing on impressive archival research, Michael Kwass demonstrates that the levy of taxes on the elite transformed political language and attitudes; attitudes which ultimately led to revolution.
