Summary

"A Residence in France During the Years 1792, 1793, 1794 and 1795, Complete" by Charlotte Biggs is a compelling collection of letters from an Englishwoman offering a firsthand view into the heart of revolutionary France. Witness the French Revolution through the eyes of a resident navigating profound social and political upheaval. The letters discuss the shifting sentiments of the French population, a stark contrast from the revolutionary fervor the author observed during a prior visit. Through vivid descriptions of daily life, economic struggles, and interactions shaped by the revolutionary spirit, the narrative paints a picture of a nation grappling with change. Observations during a military funeral, along with insights into currency issues, cultural norms, and political tensions, give readers a unique and personal encounter that sets the stage for a compelling view to understanding the French societal transformation.
