Details

At the crossroads of revolution and monarchy, Louis-Philippe I emerged as a pivotal fig-ure in French history, embodying the aspirations and contradictions of a nation in search of balance. Crowned in the wake of the July Revolution of 1830, Louis-Philippe rose to power not as a traditional sovereign but as the selfproclaimed Citizen King, a title reflecting his efforts to reconcile France's revolutionary ideals with monarchical governance. In this compelling exploration, Etienne Barbier delves into the complexities of Louis-Philippe's reign, painting a vivid portrait of a ruler who sought stability in an era of political upheaval, economic transformation, and social evolution. From his Enlightenment-influenced upbringing and years of exile to his pragmatic policies and eventual downfall, Barbier traces the journey of a monarch navigating the treacherous waters of 19th-century Europe. Louis-Philippe I: The Citizen King offers a nuanced analysis of a king often overshad-owed by his predecessors and successors, revealing a leader who embodied both the promises and challenges of constitutional monarchy. This richly detailed narrative will captivate readers interested in the intersection of history, politics, and the enduring struggle to balance tradition with progress. Perfect for enthusiasts of European history and those curious about the dynamic inter-play of power, revolution, and reform, Barbier's work sheds new light on a fascinating yet often misunderstood chapter of France's past.
