Travels in France During the Years 1787, 1788, 1789

by Arthur Young

Arthur Young's "Travels in France" offers a unique perspective on the French Revolution through the lens of an English agriculturalist. Young's journey through France in the late 1780s, initially focused on studying agricultural practices, transformed into an insightful chronicle of a nation teetering on the precipice of upheaval. His observations capture the escalating tensions, the growing discontent of the peasantry, and the simmering unrest that would soon erupt into revolution. Through his detailed accounts, Young provides a fascinating window into the social, political, and economic conditions that fueled the revolution.
