There was much talk about 'the end of ideology' in the last half of
the twentieth century but little attempt to understand the obverse
of this phenomenon - the 'beginning of ideology'. This book
examines not the exhaustion but the generation of sentiments,
values, ideals, justifications and actions which underlie one
spectacular case of profound intellectual and social change. The
Protestant Reformation, especially in its French phase, is a locus
classicus of this process, viewed here in terms of individual and
group consciousness, organisation and action which moved from
religious disaffection to a social dissent and finally to political
revolution. Although a wide variety of sources is used, the book is
based on the vast body of pamphlet material produced in the
sixteenth century. most abundantly in the Francophone world. The
aim of the book is to present an anatomy of the private and public
consciousness reflected in the thought and action of Protestant
parties and their supported during their ideological supremacy in
the late sixteenth century. A case study in the 'beginning of
ideology', this book is also a multi-levelled interpretation of
modern Europe's first age of revolution.
