Louis XIV and Twenty Million Frenchmen


Book Description

Louis XIV is one of history’s most notorious rulers. Ruling for three quarters of a century, the King of France had the longest reign in European history, and the effects of his rule would create the conditions that would lead to the French Revolution. Written by an authority on 17th century Europe, Pierre Goubert not only outlines the life the famous “Sun King." but the millions of subjects under his rule, and the effects his choices had on the them. Praise for Louis XIV and Twenty Million Frenchman “ . . . It is safe to recommend the work as the best book available on the subject for the educated layman.”—Kirkus Reviews “This masterful work . . . should serve a generation of student and general readers as the essential introduction to the France of Louis XIV.”—The American Historical Review “In this field M. Goubert is a past master, and his subtle portrayal of the great social trends of the age deserves to be widely read.”—Times Literary Supplement

Louis XVI and the French Revolution, 1789–1792


Book Description

The experience, and failure, of Louis XVI's short-lived constitutional monarchy of 1789–92 deeply influenced the politics and course of the French Revolution. The dramatic breakdown of the political settlement of 1789 steered the French state into the decidedly stormy waters of political terror and warfare on an almost global scale. This book explores how the symbolic and political practices which underpinned traditional Bourbon kingship ultimately succumbed to the radical challenge posed by the Revolution's new 'proto-republican' culture. While most previous studies have focused on Louis XVI's real and imagined foreign counterrevolutionary plots, Ambrogio A. Caiani examines the king's hitherto neglected domestic activities in Paris. Drawing on previously unexplored archival source material, Caiani provides an alternative reading of Louis XVI in this period, arguing that the monarch's symbolic behaviour and the organisation of his daily activities and personal household were essential factors in the people's increasing alienation from the newly established constitutional monarchy.
