Sophie Nicholls, Political Thought in the French Wars of Religion
Despite the title, this is a study of the political thought of the (second) French Catholic League, from roughly 1585 to 1595. The League was a significant movement, controlling the bulk of France for several years (though not without Spanish military intervention), provoking the assassination of King Henri iii, and successfully pressuring his successor, Henri iv, to convert to Catholicism. Its internal fractiousness, rapid dissolution after Henr…

Nicole Reinhardt. Voices of Conscience
It would be foolish to attempt to determine the classic question for any period of historical inquiry. But if one were to attempt that task for the study of seventeenth-century Europe, the relationship between religious belief and political action—the problem of “reason of state”—would likely wind up on most shortlists. In Voices of Conscience, Nicole Reinhardt approaches that problem from what, in retrospect, seems like a rather obvious angle: t…

Protestantism, Poetry and Protest
Being a Protestant in sixteenth-century France was not a soft option, and in case one should should need reminding, this book provides (among other things) a chronicle of how difficult even the Reformed Religion’s most successful adherents found it to be. Antoine de Chandieu remains a rather obscure figure, despite a good claim to having been the leading Huguenot churchman of his era. Barker’s study attempts, with some success, to remedy that sit…

Papauté, histoire et mémoire gallicane au xvie siècle
Nonobstant une hostilité marquée envers la papauté, plus ou moins visible selon la conjoncture, les gallicans érudits de la fin du xvie siècle se sentaient contraints de concéder une place non négligeable au pape dans le catholicisme français. Cette contrainte provenait de la place qu’ils allouaient à la continuité historique comme outil de compréhension et de légitimation d'une monarchie intimement liée avec la papauté depuis ses origines, et qu…

Money and Merit in French Renaissance Comedy
Pierre Corneille’s Mélite (1629) resonated in part due to a social critique with deep roots in the French Renaissance. Corneille’s characters live by the canons of a (notionally) natural system of merit, divorced from money, implicitly noble, but open to upwardly-mobile commoners. Reconciling the traditional social order with the purchase of status and power by venal office-holders had preoccupied French comedy since the 1550s. While early playwr…
Defining the History of Ideas
A comparison of the recently-published New Dictionary of the History of Ideas (2005) with its predecessor, The Dictionary of the History of Ideas (1973), reveals much about the development of the history of ideas itself over the last half century. Generally, there has been a movement from a defense of the "Western tradition" against illiberal forces of left and right to an attempt to explore and understand the immense variety of post-colonial ide…
Dionysos
Assemblies of the French Clergy from Philip the Fair to Louis XIII
Though comparatively little known, the Assemblies of the Clergy were the most consistently influential representative institution of the French old regime. They were created by the monarchy in the Middle Ages as an occasional and generally tractable extension of the royal council, particularly useful during conflicts with the papacy. In the course of the Great Schism and its aftermath, they began to arrogate some of the (ill-defined) status of a …

Money and Sovereignty in Early Modern France
Early modern French commentators on money and monetary policy were fond of quoting this very late antique chancery formula; 2 it even appears in the epigraph to one unpublished commonplace book on the subject from the early seventeenth century. 3 Its popularity was no doubt due partly to the fact that classical literature contained few other theoretical statements on the practicalities of issuing money. 4 It also showed how deeply classical human…
