Abstract
In this book, Georges Lefebvre (1874-1859) makes a historiographical study of what was called "the great panic of 1789", which occurred in France at the time of the effervescent revolution. Each moment of the book (published in 1932) contains a series of chapters that allow us to understand the subject from its political, economic and social context, passing through the formation of collective beliefs and their propagation: the "aristocratic plot" and the growing uprisings from from social inequalities, to a detailed explanation of how the great panic is formed and how it is reproduced; always supported by various testimonies that he collects: letters, complaint notebooks, rumors, official communications, which he found in various archives throughout France.
