Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book captures Lyon's 1791 transition from monarchy to its First Republic. Through primary sources and documents, the author chronicles the city's fervor and uncertainties, from the impact of national decrees on its populace to the installation of a constitutional bishop, Adrien Lamourette. Following the fall of the Bastille in 1789, the people of Lyon embraced the ideals of the French Revolution as a promise of liberty and equality. However, the city also became a hotbed for religious tensions within a nation grappling with its transition from Catholicism to secular governance. Through the journals and correspondence of its citizens, this book provides an intimate look at the political and social struggles that marked this revolutionary period. The author explores how Lyon navigated the conflicts between the revolutionary government, the Catholic Church, and the people. Although largely supportive of the Revolution, the city's populace demonstrated a strong attachment to their religious beliefs. The schism between the constitutional bishop, loyal to the revolutionary government, and the traditional archbishop, who refused to recognize the legitimacy of the new regime, epitomized the struggle between the old order and the new. Through detailed accounts and analysis, this book sheds light on the complexities of revolutionary fervor and the clash between tradition and modernity. It offers invaluable insights into how Lyon negotiated the challenges of this transformative period, contributing to our understanding of the French Revolution's impact on local communities and the shaping of modern France.
