L'État à la lettre
Palimpsestic political thought
The seminal works of Jean Bodin (c.1530–96) and François Hotman (c.1524–90), the Six livres de la République, and the Francogallia, were written and re-written over the turbulent course of the French wars of religion (1562–1629). Whilst conventionally these works are understood to represent fixed, and opposing, theories of monarchy (absolutist versus constitutionalist), this article explores them as they transformed in response to the changing ci…
Rumours of Revolt
Rumours of Revolt: Civil War and the Emergence of a Transnational News Culture in France and the Netherlands, 1561–1598. Rosanne M. Baars. Library of the Written Word – The Handpress World 88. Leiden: Brill, 2021. xii + 268. $157. - Volume 77 Issue 3
Power, Consent, and the Role of the Multitude in Étienne de La Boétie’s De la servitude volontaire
La Boétie’s De la servitude volontaire has traditionally been read as an archetypal piece of French humanist writing. In contrast, this article argues that medieval, scholastic ideas underpin De la servitude volontaire. There are two components to this argument: the first is the influence of La Boétie’s training in civil law at the Université d’Orléans on his political ideas, where there is clear evidence that aspects of medieval jurisprudence un…
Political Thought in the French Wars of Religion
Ideas on royal power in the French Wars of Religion
René Choppin (1537–1606) was one of the most cited French lawyers of the sixteenth century, and yet his contribution to intellectual history has gone curiously unexamined. This article considers the reception of his most important work, De Domanio Franciae (1574), in the political thought of the 1570s and early 1580s. It shows that Choppin was particularly influential in two key areas: the question of the inalienability of the French domain, and …
Jean Bodin, ‘This Pre-Eminent Man of France’
Jean Bodin (1530–96) lived through interesting times, punctuated by profound political instability, religious fanaticism and civil war. He witnessed the upheaval of the Reformation and the Catholic response in France, the troubles of minority kingship and weakened royal authority, political assassinations, notorious heresy trials and massacres of the Huguenot population. He participated actively and provocatively in political life, speaking out a…
Sovereignty and Government in Jean Bodin's Six Livres de la République (1576)
This article examines Bodin's distinction between sovereignty and government ("la police") in the Six Livres de la République (1576) in the intellectual context of the Wars of Religion, and argues that the terminology of "la police" requires investigation in order to clarify its meaning. It demonstrates how Bodin distinguished his understanding of political science from his contemporaries in explaining the relationship between administrative and …
Conseil à la France Désolée
Sébastian Castellion (1515–63), or Chateillon, Professor of Greek at the University of Basel, was best known, prior to the twentieth century, for his scholarly manuals: The Dialogi Sacri (1543/45) and his Bible en français (1555). Subsequently, due to his unflinching confrontation with Calvin and Calvinist orthodoxy after the execution of Michael Servetus in 1553, Castellion has emerged as a central figure in the bid for religious toleration. His…
Catholic resistance theory
This article examines William Barclay's response to Jean Boucher's De Justa Abdicatione Henrici Tertii (1589) in view of the complexities of Catholic political thought in this post-Tridentine period. It argues that Barclay's famous category of ‘monarchomach’ is problematic for its avoidance of the issue of confessional difference, and that on questions of the relationship between the respublica and the ecclesia Barclay struggled to find an adequa…
Gallican Liberties and the Catholic League
Theorists of Gallican liberty took as their premise the idea that France had an exceptional status amongst the national Christian churches. However, as contemporaries had noted, the precise definition of Gallican liberties remained at stake; Antoine Hotman noted in his treatise on the subject that ‘it is a strange phenomenon that everyone talks of the liberties of the Gallican Church and, most of the time, very few people know what they are and c…
Cultural Scripts, Social Cognition and Social Interaction in Roper Kriol
Interactional style is an under-researched area in the study of Australian Aboriginal languages, yet it is profoundly important in negotiating access to everyday services, such as medical, legal and educational resources. This paper investigates speech routines relevant to person reference and information exchange in Roper Kriol, an Aboriginal creole language spoken in the Northern Territory of Australia. It includes evidence that at least some a…
Beyond Expressive Writing
Pennebaker's expressive writing paradigm has helped to introduce the benefits of writing to health care. However, research in expressive writing has been largely dominated by an experimental and quantitative approach that does not take into account critical methodologies and approaches in health psychology, the increasingly complex ways in which creative writing is now being used in health care settings or recent research in the broader field of …
