In The Oxford Handbook of the Old Regime, an international team of
30 contributors surveys and presents current thinking about the
world of pre-revolutionary France and Europe.
The idea of the Old Regime (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 Old 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 Old 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 Old
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.
