Ronald Schechter. A Genealogy of Terror in Eighteenth-Century France
Since the bicentennial of the French Revolution in 1989, the focus of the historiography of that Revolution has shifted from the problem of its origins to that of its descent into the Terror of the Year II (1793–1794) after its apparently liberal beginnings in 1789. And just when it might have seemed as though that phase had gone beyond the point of diminishing returns, Ronald Schechter has breathed new life into the subject with an inquiry into …
The Varieties of Enlightened Experience
Priests of the French Revolution
By virtue of its reform of the French Catholic Church known as Civil Constitution of the Clergy, the French Revolution created a national Catholic clergy that found itself separated from Rome after the papacy condemned it in 1791. A desperate need exists for a new history of this clergy’s ten-year experience from 1790 to 1801 because, as Professor Joseph Byrnes observes in his Priests of the French Revolution, older works by Henri Leclercq, Jean …
The Jesuit Suppression in Global Context
In 1773, Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus, a dramatic, puzzling act that had a profound impact. This volume traces the causes of the attack on the Jesuits, the national expulsions that preceded universal suppression, and the consequences of these extraordinary developments. The Suppression occurred at a unique historical juncture, at the high-water mark of the Enlightenment and on the cusp of global imperial crises and the Age of …
Damiens Affair and the Unraveling of the Ancien Regime, 1750-1770
From the Catholic Enlightenment to the Risorgimento
Eighteenth-century Italy tends to be a hidden valley in the historiographical landscape, tucked obscurely between the heights of the Italian Renaissance on the one side and the Risorgimento on the other. But recent challenges to the concept of a single secular Enlightenment with its sun in Paris and beams into the peripheries have refracted that Enlightenment into a spectrum of ‘lights’ in the plural, some of them less secular than the French one…
Jonathan I. Israel. Democratic Enlightenment
Jonathan I. Israel's latest book brings certain tendencies in his previous two volumes on the “radical Enlightenment” to an all too logical conclusion. It was possible to read the first and best of his volumes, Radical Enlightenment: Philosophy and the Making of Modernity, 1650–1750 (2001), as an attempt to flesh out Margaret C. Jacob's thesis of a “radical” among other spectra within the Enlightenment, with particular attention to the influence …
Robert R. Palmer's Catholics and Unbelievers in Eighteenth-Century France
Robert R. Palmer wrote his first book, Catholics and Unbelievers in Eighteenth Century France, under the influence of his mentor at Cornell University, Carl L. Becker. Whereas Becker had claimed that the "enlightened" French philosophes were more indebted to Christianity than they recognized, Palmer argued that French Catholic apologists in the eighteenth century were also more "enlightened" than they knew. The two theses are complementary sides …
Civic Humanism in Clerical Garb
In the autumn of 1763 Enlightenment Europe witnessed one of the century's more paradoxical events: a Catholic provincial council meeting in the Protestant Dutch Republic proclaiming a conception of the Catholic Church most closely associated with France. The scene was the church of St Gertrude in the city of Utrecht, the time was 13–21 September, and the participants were the archbishop of Utrecht Petrus Meindaerts surrounded by his two suffragan…
Religion and the Age of "Patriot" Reform
Jansenism and the international suppression of the Jesuits
Founded by Ignatius Loyola, the Society of Jesus won papal recognition in 1540, just a few years before the first meeting of the Council of Trent where Jesuit theologians first came to Catholic attention as champions of papal primacy and the most formidable foes of Protestant 'heresy'. More than two and a half centuries later, in 1814, the papacy re-established the society as an institutional antidote to the unbelief and republican ideology beque…
