Books by Philip Dawson

Dawson contributes research findings to the historical controversy over the political motives and conduct of the upper bourgeoisie during the French Revolution, treating magistrates' activities as members of corporate groups before 1790 and following many of them as individuals through the revolutionary years to 1795.

Citizenship is a fundamental concept in social life, entailing rights, obligations, and relationships with others. The topics discussed in this book, which detail these rights and obligations, will be of interest to French historians as well as to political scientists and sociologists.
