Similar to Tackett’s analysis, Caroline Weber also draws attention to the significance of the royal family in Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution. Tackett, for example, insists that the salacious and careless actions of the royal family before and during the war undermined the public’s perception of the family as a symbol of sacred authority. Still others historians, such as Timothy Tackett, contend that the ineptitude of the royal family also helped to bring about the war. In other works, scholars, such as Francois Furet, Robert Darnton, and Keith Michael Baker, underscore the importance of political ideologies and culture for understanding the causes of the revolution. In particular, Lefebvre argues that the rising dominance of the bourgeoisie produced the political turmoil of the revolution. In The Coming of the French Revolution, for instance, Georges Lefebvre explains the causes of the French Revolution with a socioeconomic interpretation. For decades, scholars have attempted to capture the circumstances that led up to the French Revolution. 5/28/2023 0 Comments The last lion churchillOne cannot do better than this book.” -The Philadelphia Inquirer “Manchester has read further, thought harder, and told with considerable verve what is mesmerizing in drama. one of those books you devour line by line and word by word and finally hate to see end.” -Russell Baker Praise for The Last Lion: Visions of Glory From master biographer William Manchester, The Last Lion: Visions of Glory reveals the first fifty-eight years of the life of an adventurer, aristocrat, soldier, and statesman whose courageous leadership guided the destiny of his darkly troubled times-and who is remembered as one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century.

Through the lens of an empirical study based on ongoing PhD research, it analyses bisexual citizenship and explores how bisexual people construct and express their intimate citizenship.
