Reviewer comment
Dr. Artz describes the changes that took place in the social - political standing of the bourgeoise after the Napoleonic Wars. In this period the 'Industrial Revolution' gained great momentum building of economic development in the 1750 -1800 era. It had great significance in the status of the former peasant and new indusrial factory worker. This is the follow-on book to Geoffrey Bruun's Europe and the French Imperium 1799 - 1814. The chaper titles show the content.
