These essays examine the thought and works of a series of writers
on political thought, religion, historiography and literature, from
the 16th century to the 19th. Throughout, the author is concerned
to situate individual thinkers in the context of their times and,
in many of the essays, to illuminate the links between intellectual
currents in France and England. Particular topics include
Gallicanism, Neostoicism, the historical novel, and
constitutionalism, while the figures dealt with range from Bodin
and Hotman in the Renaissance, to Descartes and La Rochefoucauld in
the Grand Siecle and Condorcet and Diderot in the Enlightenment.
Less familiar figures include the Oxford historian, Degory Wheare,
and the French constitutional theorist, Henrion de Pansey. Among
the topics treated in the Romantic era are comparisons between the
French and English revolutions, and the French obsession with
Oliver Cromwell.
