ESSAY ON: Crane Brinton’s Pattern of Revolution and The French Revolution in Relation to Brinton’s Stages

Number of Pages 9

This research paper: This is a 9 page paper discussing Crane Brinton’s stages of revolution and the French Revolution in relation to those stages. In Crane Brinton’s “Anatomy of a Revolution” (1965) he developed a scientific look at the evolution and stages of a revolution. These stages were the prodromal/incubation stage, the symptomatic/moderate stage, the crisis/radical stage and the convalescence/recovery/moderate stage. Brinton developed these stages based on his research regarding the revolutions which took place in Britain, Russia, France and America. The French Revolution is a good example of the stages of Brinton’s as the French also experienced an incubation stage for over a century preceeding the revolution and began with the period of Enlightenment (the prodromal stage); a surge of moderates within the population who restricted the movements of the monarchy and attempted to end feudalism (the symptomatic stage); a period or terror and war which required a great deal of sacrifice by the French population and the end of the monarchy (the crisis stage); and a final period of recovery in which the Constitution was established, feudalism was abolished and France was restructured under the Consulate and Napoleon Bonaparte (the convalescence stage). Bibliography lists 5 sources.
