Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 9 page paper discussing Crane Brinton’s stages of revolution and the French Revolution in relation to those stages. In Crane Brinton’s “Anatomy of a Revolution” (1965) he developed a scientific look at the evolution and stages of a revolution. These stages were the prodromal/incubation stage, the symptomatic/moderate stage, the crisis/radical stage and the convalescence/recovery/moderate stage. Brinton developed these stages based on his research regarding the revolutions which took place in Britain, Russia, France and America. The French Revolution is a good example of the stages of Brinton’s as the French also experienced an incubation stage for over a century preceeding the revolution and began with the period of Enlightenment (the prodromal stage); a surge of moderates within the population who restricted the movements of the monarchy and attempted to end feudalism (the symptomatic stage); a period or terror and war which required a great deal of sacrifice by the French population and the end of the monarchy (the crisis stage); and a final period of recovery in which the Constitution was established, feudalism was abolished and France was restructured under the Consulate and Napoleon Bonaparte (the convalescence stage).

end of the monarchy (the crisis stage); and a final period of recovery in which the Constitution was established, feudalism was abolished and France was restructured under the Consulate and
Napoleon Bonaparte (the convalescence stage). The prodromal or the incubation stage of the revolution is considered as the stage of the country and
its people which precedes the revolution which can occur over a course over a century or more. Within this incubation stage, several consistencies have been discovered in Brintons studies of
the evolution of revolutions. Firstly, an overall faith in the existing political and ruling system decreases and the intellectuals begin sharp criticism of the system. This criticism increases as does
the growing incompetence of the ruling classes (Abbey, 2002; Brinton, 1965). Second, members of the middle class who begin to gain economical status are shut out by the upper classes
and the aristocracy causing a hardened an increased conflict between the classes. The classes become more distinct and unyielding. Finally, because of the years of mishandling, the ruling classes and
