| Summary | "Histoire de France 1758-1789 (Volume 19/19)" by Jules Michelet is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work delves into the complex political, social, and cultural landscape of France during the tumultuous years leading up to the Revolution. With a deep focus on figures such as Louis XV and Louis XVI, the book seeks to illuminate the causes and implications of France's descent into upheaval. At the start of the volume, the author reflects on the completion of his life's work, emphasizing the significance of exploring the monarchy's decline amidst external conspiracies and internal strife. Michelet discusses the severe challenges faced by France in 1758, such as financial ruin and the looming threat of revolution, linking them to the machinations of foreign powers and the rule of influential figures at court. Through vivid historical narratives and astute observations, the opening sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the events that ultimately led to the dramatic shifts within France between 1758 and 1789.
