Response to Henry Heller’s ‘The Longue Durée of the French Bourgeoisie’
Beik criticises Heller’s mechanical view of the dynamic role of the bourgeoisie in the rise of capitalism in early-modern France. While they agree that the primary class-conflict was between the nobility and the peasantry, Beik stresses the slow emergence of genuine capitalist social relations and the cooptation of the bourgeoisie by a monarchical state which was still propping up the feudal regime, whereas Heller views mercantile activity and pr…
Fondation et ruine d'une 'maison: Histoire sociale des comtes de Belin (1582-1706)
This closely researched study of a sixteenth-century French noble dynasty, the House of Averton, is also an ambitious attempt to rethink, and often criticise, current approaches to the French nobility. It ranges widely through the subject, citing most of the major works—including English-language studies that are often neglected by French scholars. However, it is not for the faint of heart. Lengthy, intensely detailed, and closely argued, it will…

Rome des Césars, Rome des papes: La propagande du cardinal Mazarin
The Violence of the French Crowd from Charivari to Revolution
When common people protested in early modern France, they employed language and behaviour that strike us as violent and destructive. Peasants, craftsmen, labourers, women, even children resorted to collective violence. Houses were torn apart, authorities threatened, scapegoats beaten and dragged through the streets. How are we to evaluate these actions? Any attempt requires imaginative reconstruction of rioters’ intentions based on titbits of inf…

Bureaucrats and Beggars: French Social Policy in the Age of the Enlightenment
Thomas Adams explores the social context in which the French Enlightenment arose by focusing on the response of eighteenth-century French society to the problem of poverty. The institutions (depots) which were established in this period to rehabilitate the poor, Adams argues, came to be regarded as laboratories in which society might be studied scientifically. One premise of such rehabilitation efforts was that government 'should not make men poo…

Celebrating Andrew Lossky: The Reign of Louis XIV Revisited
The genial figure of Andrew Lossky, radiating charm and perhaps a trace of mystery, has been a familiar sight for anyone who frequents French history conferences. His soft-spoken comments, delivered with a touch of central European elegance, have enriched many a session. His writings on the age of Louis XIV have made an important contribution, but his influence as mentor and teacher has extended farther, reaching for some the point of legend. It …

Absolutism and Society in Seventeenth-Century France: State Power and Provincial Aristocracy in Languedoc
Why was Louis XIV successful in pacifying the same aristocrats who had caused so much trouble for Richelieu and Mazarin? What role did absolutism play in reinforming or changing the traditional social system in seventeenth-century France? In this analysis of the provincial reality of absolutism, Professor Beik argues that the answers to these questions lie in the relationship between the regional aristocracy and the crown. Starting with a critica…

État et société en France au XVIIe siècle. La taille en Languedoc et la question de la redistribution sociale
Un débat concernant la nature de l'État moderne est en cours. Étant donné la longueur de son évolution, sa complexité croissante tant dans sa forme que dans ses fonctions et ses nombreux caractères quantifiables, l'État peut être traité comme une structure de long terme, émergeant de la société, l'influençant, éventuellement la dominant. Mais à quel degré peut-on considérer l'État moderne comme un agent indépendant et quand est-il tout simplement…
