The Paris Commune of 1871 emerged out of a political culture influenced by both the traditions bequeathed to the Nineteenth-century by the French Revolution and contemporary events, circumstances and ideas. This study of the Commune provides readers with a survey of its foundations and its narrative history, as well as an examination of the evolution of its historiography and topics which have rendered the Commune essential to an understanding of the concept of revolution.
