The Revolution and the Struggle of Share-Farmers.
The results of a systematic inventory of tithe-levying conflicts between the common people and the clergy, and between landowners and share-farmers in the South-Western province of Gascogne, is given as a contribution to the study of the pre-revolutionary period; we find in it an analysis of the material causes that were instrumental in the radical dechristianisation process, and precisions as to the nature of social conflicts in the village context under the Old Régime.
The article also shows how, after 1789, the landowners impropriated the tithes that had supposedly been abolished, and documents the attempts of Gascogne share-farmers to oppose salary limitations and the concentration of ground rent. It recounts certain historically contingent victories gained by share-farmers in the years 1793-1794, but also the reaction that ensued and its long term consequences for Gascony and more speciflcally, for the peasantry of the Gers department.
