Jansenism and England: Moral Rigorism across the Confessions, by Thomas Palmer
Witchcraft narratives in Germany: Rothenburg, 1561–1652
Given the widespread belief in witchcraft and the existence of laws against such practices, why did witch-trials fail to gain momentum and escalate into 'witch-crazes' in certain parts of early modern Europe? This book answers this question by examining the rich legal records of the German city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a city which experienced a very restrained pattern of witch-trials and just one execution for witchcraft between 1561 and 165…
Church, Society, and Religious Change in France, 1580-1730
This readable and engaging book by an acclaimed historian is the only wide-ranging synthesis devoted to the French experience of religious change during the period after the wars of religion up to the early Enlightenment. Joseph Bergin provides a clear, up-to-date, and thorough account of the religious history of France in the context of social, institutional, and cultural developments during the so-called long seventeenth century.

David Sturdy (1940-2009)

He was born in Middlesbrough and attended university at Hull (1959–62), before moving to Trinity College, Dublin, where he took his PhD (1969) and served as a junior lecturer from 1965 to 1970.

Three Faces of Richelieu: A Historiographical Essay
This article explores the different views of Richelieu to be found in three different cultures, those of Spain, Germany and England (to which America is added). It begins with the perceptions of Richelieu among his contemporaries and how these evolved in subsequent centuries. The figure of Richelieu has fascinated biographers, novelists and playwrights, whose work influenced wider historical judgements of the Cardinal. In recent times, historians…
Cardinal de la Rochefoucauld. Leadership and Reform in the French Church
L'intérêt parle toutes sortes de langages, et joue toutes sortes de personnages, même celui de désintéressé. (François de la Rochefoucauld [1613-1618], grand- nephew of the Cardinal, maxime # 39)This maxim of the famous grand-nephew of the Cardinal de la Rochefoucauld would serve well as an introductory motto for Professor Bergin 's book on the Cardinal (1558-1645), who was a leader of the church and a reformer of the regular clergy in France.Jos…
The royal confessor and his rivals in seventeenth-century France
The most memorable portraits of the French royal confessors of any period are in Saint-Simon's memoirs, and his judgements of them have survived relatively unscathed compared to those he delivered on Louis XIV's ministers generally. His account assumes that royal confessors normally wielded huge influence, but in fact the situation that he describes applies only to Louis XIV's confessors. This essay attempts to put the rise of the confessor into …

The Crown, the Papacy and the Reform of the Old Orders in Early Seventeenth-Century France
In reviewing the historiography of the Catholic reform in seventeenthcentury France, one cannot but be struck by the scant attention devoted to the old monastic orders. At a superficial level, this may well be because there are few genuine successes to record or because the numerous failures of attempted reforms make up a particularly depressing and unedifying tale. It is obvious that the more recently founded congregations, both male and female,…
The Decline and Fall of the House of Guise as an Ecclesiastical Dynasty
In the eighteenth century Louis XV's minister, Cardinal Dubois, defended himself against papal criticism of his appetite for church benefices by ordering that a list of benefices held by his seventeenth-century counterparts be prepared and sent to Rome. It was his way of proving that he was much less voracious than they had been.His defence serves to remind the historian of the extent to which the ancien régime church was dominated by powerful fa…
