Writing to Undo
This study investigates protestations as a unique lens into the workings of coercion and resistance in the early modern period.

This remarkable scope has paradoxically proven an obstacle to realizing the h…

Nicolas Catinat, scion of a newly ennobled family, discovered that his extensive military experience was of no avail in Versailles. Following his elevation to the marshalate in spring 1693, …
