In The Oxford Handbook of the Ancien Regime, an international team
of thirty contributors survey and present current thinking about
the world of pre-revolutionary France and Europe. The idea of the
Ancien Regime was invented by the French revolutionaries to define
what they hoped to destroy and replace. But it was not a precise
definition, and although historians have found it conceptually
useful, there is wide disagreement about what the Ancien Regime's
main features were, how they worked, how old they were, how far
they stretched, how dynamic or inert they were, and how far the
revolutionaries succeeded in their ambitions to eradicate them. In
this wide-ranging and authoritative collection, old and newer areas
of research into the Ancien Regime are presented and assessed, and
there has been no attempt to impose any sort of consensus. The
result shows what a lively field of historical enquiry the Ancien
Regime remains, and points the way towards a range of promising new
directions for thinking and writing about the intriguing complex of
historical problems which it continues to pose.
