Abstract

The author analyses the monograph A King without a Kingdom. Louis XVIII and the French Royalists in 1794–1799 by D. Yu. Bovykin, Associate Professor of the Chair of Modern and Contemporary History of Moscow State University, Dr. Hab. (History). Despite the seeming exhaustion of the topic of revolution, “white spots” constantly emerge in the history of the Revolution. One of such understudied issues is a vast complex of problems connected with the phenomenon of “counterrevolution”. The book relies on the interdisciplinary methodology of the “new historical scholarship”. In addition, the review concludes that the book of D. Yu. Bovykin leads the readers to rethink the cardinal issues of the post-revolutionary development of France at the beginning of the Restoration regime, i.e. between 1814 and 1815.
