Here for the first time in one volume is R. R. Palmer's magisterial account of this incendiary age. Palmer argues that the American, French, and Polish revolutions--and the movements for political change in Britain, Ireland, Holland, and elsewhere--were manifestations of similar political ideas, needs, and conflicts. Palmer traces the clash between an older form of society, marked by legalized social rank and hereditary or self-perpetuating elites, and a new form of society that placed a greater value on social mobility and legal equality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing a new foreword by David Armitage, this Princeton Classics edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Age of the Democratic Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e introduces a new generation of readers to this enduring work of political history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11964714\"\u003eR.
