New Views on Citizenship and National Identity in Early Modern France
This article explores new ideas about the development of standards of citizenship and national identity in early modern France. Rather than appearing full‐blown at the time of the French Revolution, French citizenship has a prehistory going back at least as far as the fifteenth century
The Language of Citizenship in the French Religious Wars
This article traces the evolution of ideas about citizenship in the ideological conflicts of late-sixteenth- and early-seventeenth-century France. It documents the uses of the word citoyen itself in political literature intended to appeal to a wide audience, emphasizing the pamphlet literature of the religious wars.

A penetrating critique of those who exaggerate either the radicalism of the Enlightenment or the hegemony of the absolutist state, h…
Law and Citizenship in Early Modern France
Scholars of French history have long maintained that the modern French notion of citizenship - including the concept that citizenship endows one with certain civil rights - is a product of the Enlightenment. But this book argues that many of the ideas that found their way into Enlightenment tracts in fact had their roots in the French Renaissance.
