Church and Culture in Seventeenth-Century France brings together
the social, religious and intellectual history of the Grand Siecle
and focuses on the involvement of the Church in a variety of
cultural domains, including literature, art, censorship and ideas.
It explores the limits as well as the extent of the Church's
influence, especially in its attempt to impose orthodoxy in all
areas and on all sections of society. Given that orthodoxy
determines the believer's inclusion or exclusion from the Church,
thus implying the notion of boundaries in a context of constraint,
the study is conceived according to a number of spaces. The notion
of space is sometimes interpreted literally, e.g. Port-Royal, the
school and the church building, and sometimes metaphorically, e.g.
orthodoxy itself, science and theology. The book also deals with
religious attitudes to libertinage, atheism and deism, and with
aspects of French Protestantism.
