Historical Epochs of the French Revolution
With The Judgment And Execution Of Louis XVI., King Of France
And A List Of The Members Of The National Convention, Who Voted For And Against His Death
Produced by Desmond Grocott
"Historical Epochs of the French Revolution" by Henry Goudemetz is a historical account likely written in the late 18th century. This work provides a detailed narrative of the events surrounding the French Revolution, particularly focusing on the judgment and execution of Louis XVI and the political dynamics within the National Convention. By chronicling these historical epochs, Goudemetz aims to inform readers about the causes and consequences of this transformative period in France. At the start of the text, the author explains the origins of the revolution, emphasizing various socio-political factors that led to widespread unrest among the French populace. The opening discusses the influence of philosophical ideas and external conflicts, particularly the American War, which ignited the French desire for liberty. It introduces the discontent with the monarchy's extravagant lifestyle and financial mismanagement, which ultimately paves the way for reforms, assemblies, and the violent shift toward a revolutionary government. The preface sets the stage for an exhaustive chronological account of critical events, including the convening of the States-General and the constitutional changes leading up to Louis XVI's trial.
