A landmark work of European historical scholarship, The First European Revolution: 1776-1815 argues that the era spanning the American and French Revolutions through the Napoleonic Wars represented a single, seismic transformation of the Western world. Norman Hampson chronicles the political, social, and ideological upheavals that shattered the old monarchical order and permanently reshaped the map of Europe. With authoritative clarity, the work details how Enlightenment ideals ignited popular revolt, redrew national boundaries, and gave birth to modern concepts of citizenship and state power. Part of the prestigious Library of European Civilization series, this richly illustrated volume presents 105 images — 20 in colour — that bring the period's dramatic personalities and battlefields vividly to life. A scholarly yet accessible account, it remains an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the revolutionary forces that defined the modern Western world.
