Class and State in Early Modern France explores the economic,
social, ideological and political foundations of French Absolutism.
David Parker's challenging interpretation presents French
Absolutism as a remarkably successful attempt to preserve the
political and ideological structures of the traditional
order.
This reassessment runs contrary to much revisionist
historiography, rejecting the widespread tendency to treat French
Absolutism either as an instrument of capitalism or political
modernisation. It also discusses a number of contentious issues
such as the agrarian foundations of capitalism, the relationship
between class and status, as well as the structure and ideology of
the absolute state itself. It will be of interest to early modern
historians of France, Britain and Europe.
