This selection of articles is organized around three broad themes:
the nature of the governing system in France ('Absolutism'); the
political crisis of the mid-17th-century (the 'Fronde'); and the
development of royal finance. The author first considers the growth
of the French state in its ideological and institutional aspects,
then the opposition such developments provoked, much centred on the
figure of Cardinal Mazarin. In the last section particular
attention is given to fiscal history, including a comparison of
mid-18th-century France with the other states of Europe. Professor
Bonney would argue that the 'fiscal imperative', the increased
requirements posed by the costs of war, and the long-term
consequences of fiscal growth may be seen as one of the decisive
factors in the development of the modern state.
