This book is a 2005 edition of Mack P. Holt's classic study of the
French religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Drawing on the scholarship of social and cultural historians of the
Reformation, it shows how religion infused both politics and the
socio-economic tensions of the period to produce a long extended
civil war. Professor Holt integrates court politics and the
political theory of the elites with the religious experiences of
the popular classes, offering a fresh perspective on the wars and
on why the French were willing to kill their neighbors in the name
of religion. The book has been created specifically for
undergraduates and general readers with no background knowledge of
either French history or the Reformation. This edition updates the
text in the light of new work published in the decade prior to
publication and the 'Suggestions for further reading' has been
completely re-written.
