"France and the Republic" by William Henry Hurlbert is a late 19th-century exploration of France's Third Republic and the complex relationship it held with its people. Beginning with the author's journey through French provinces during the Revolution's centennial year, the book aims to uncover the true feelings of everyday citizens towards their republican government. Hurlbert uses his observations and past understandings to consider the gap between the ruling political class and the general population, especially as it follows France's past with kings and queens. He sets out to question how well the Republic truly represents the French people, hinting at a mismatch between the government's radical ideas and what the people actually want.
