The personal rule of Louis XIV, following on from a long period of
royal minority and apprenticeship, lasted 54 years from 1661 to
1715. But the second half of this personal rule has, until
recently, received significantly less scholarly attention than the
1660s and 1670s. This has obscured some of the very real changes
and developments that occurred between the early 1680s and the
mid-1690s, by which time a new generation of younger royals had
come to prominence, France was engulfed in international war on a
greater scale than ever before, and the king was visibly no longer
as vigorous or healthy as he had once been. The essays in this
volume take a close look at the way a new set of political, social,
cultural and economic dispensations emerged from the mid-1680s to
create a different France in the final decades of Louis XIV's
reign, even though the basic ideological, social and economic
underpinnings of the country remained very largely the same. The
contributions examine such varied matters as the structure and
practices of government, naval power, the financial operations of
the state, trade and commerce, social pressures, overseas
expansion, religious dissent, music, literature and the fine arts.
