George F. E. Rude Reihenfolge der Bücher

Who took part in the widespread disturbances that periodically shook 18th-century London? What really motivated the food rioters who helped to spark off the French Revolution? How did the movement of agricultural laborers destroying new machinery spread from one village to another in the English countryside? How did the sans-culottes organize in revolutionary Paris? George RudŽ was the first historian to ask such questions and in doing so he identified "the faces in the crowd" in some of the crucial episodes in modern European history. An established classic of "history from below," The Crowd in History is remarkable above all for the clarity with which it deals with the full sweep of complex events. Whether in Belgrade or Jakarta, crowds continue to make history, and George RudŽ's work retains all its freshness and relevance for students of history and politics and general readers alike. This is an innovative discussion of the role of ordinary people in some of the turning-points of European history.

The book is a much-admired classic in the field. Provides a vivid recreation of many of the key issues that have fascinated historians since the fall of the Bastille. Includes an extended introductory essay on the life and works of George RudU. schovat popis

Tells of the causes, the history, and the legacy of the French Revolution from a two-hundred year perspective.

This social history not only studies crime and punishment in early 19th-century England, but also draws on higher court records to reconstruct case histories of the actual people involved in the prisoners and the victims. The book focuses on Sussex, Gloucester, and Middleseccounties, each in its own way typical of developments in early British industrial society between 1800 and 1850. By examining crime as a social as well as a legal phenomenon, the book casts new light on the different urban and rural patterns of crime, the influence of economic and politicalfactors, and the social profiles of both criminals and victims.
