This is for the purpose of drawing comparisons between them and other MoP changes, like capitalism->socialism. This comparison could be useful for refuting the claim that the decades-long M-L state efforts to transition the MoP are a sign of failed revolution or capitalist corruption (e.g. "it's been [x] years and china hasn't established a worker's utopia yet!")[1].

I think you may be interested in Engels' The Decline of Feudalism and the Rise of the Bourgeoisie. This link is the Web Archive version, as the one in the original site seems to have been taken down due to copyright. Hope this helps!

It sure does. This work gives some sense of the timescale and clarifies that even just the domination of monarchy (rather than bourgeois rule) was a turbulent process over centuries.
