Early Modern France 1560-1715 cover

This book provides an overall interpretation of a decisive period in French history, from the chaos of the Wars of Religion to the death of Louis XIV. A clear but economical narrative of the major political events is combined with an analysis of the long-term factors which decisively moulded the evolution of both state and society.

A very fine, thorough and conscientious study of a formative period in French history ... his account of the French provinces in the age of Richelieu and Louis XIV ... is one of the best things of its kind in English. * Sunday Telegraph *
