The Origins of French Absolutism, 1598-1661 Paperback / softback
by Alan James
Part of the Seminar Studies In History series
Paperback / softback
Description
This controversial study takes the provocative line that the French monarchy was a complete success.
James turns the idea of royal 'absolutism' on its head by redefining the French monarchy's success from 1598 - 1661.
The Origins of French Absolutism, 1598-1661 maintains that building blocks were not being laid by the so-called architects of absolutism, but that by satisfying long-established, traditional ambitions, cardinal ministers Richelieu and Mazarin undoubtedly made the confident, ambitious reign of the late century possible.
