The dual themes of this volume are the characteristics of patronage
relationships and their political uses in early modern France. The
first essays provide an overview of the scholarly literature and
suggest that the obligatory reciprocity of the patron-client
exchange was a defining characteristic. The third and fourth essays
compare patronage relationships with kinship and friendship, while
the following two focus on the patronage role of noblewomen.
Professor Kettering then looks at the role of brokerage in state
formation in early modern France, comparing this with other early
modern societies. In the final section she explores the role of
patronage in the religious wars of the late 16th century and in the
civil war of the Fronde a half century later, and the ways in which
it was affected by the changing lifestyles of the great nobles
during the late 17th century.
