解説
Revolution and Improvement: The Western World 1775-1847 offers a sweeping yet incisive study of the formative decades that defined the modern West. John Roberts situates the period between the American Revolution and the revolutions of 1848 as a decisive "zone of change," where the intertwined forces of revolution and improvement reshaped politics, economies, and mentalities. From the upheavals of the French Revolution and the consolidation of new nation-states to the rise of industrial society, Roberts draws out both the transformative shocks and the inertial weight of traditions that continued to structure everyday life.
Balancing narrative breadth with interpretive sharpness, Roberts frames Western ascendancy as a story of uneven development and contested meaning. He highlights the paradox of simultaneous rupture and continuity, exploring how liberal ideals, Enlightenment mentalities, and emerging market economies collided with ancien regime institutions, corporate privilege, and entrenched hierarchies. Richly illustrated with maps and images, Revolution and Improvement provides both a fresh synthesis of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Western history and a reflective meditation on how revolutions, reforms, and resistances remade the foundations of global modernity.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1976.
