French Society - 1589-1715 (Paperback)

Offers a birds-eye view of society in France from 1589-1715, covering the reigns of the first three Bourbon kings - Henri IV, Louis XIII, and Louis XIV

Examining the 'long' seventeenth century, one of the most dynamic phases in French history, the author explores the upheavals in French society during this period by looking at the traditional bonds which tied together the various classes and groupings. Using examples from the lives of real people, her unique approach discusses how the turbulence of the age threw these established relationships into disarray, and explains why, by 1715, France had become a more peaceful and civilized place.
