HCJ-1 FRANCE 1815 - 1848

I have uploaded a webcast lecture (length about half an hour) in four parts on You Tube. This deals with the restoration of monarchy after the defeat of Napoleon in France, the July revolution and the development of socialism as a political theory in Paris in the 1820s and '30s. This will help you to understand the read for this week - Marx's Communist Manifesto - because it explains who characters like Guizot and Metternich are. Also socialism as a theory is really a French phenomena and it originated in the wake of the French revolution. You won't be examined on the content of these talks (only on the reading and closely related material) but it helps to know this additional material.
