Turmoil: Instability and Insecurity in the Eighteenth Century - Francophone Tex

What is turmoil? This bilingual and interdisciplinary book proposes a distinctive new ontology of turmoil through study of its incidence and impact within the eighteenth-century francophone context. With focus on Enlightenment, revolutionary and post-revolutionary texts, these essays identify three key generative indicators of turmoil: phenomenon; paradigm shift; adaptation.
