Penser l’après Louis XIV: Histoire, mémoire, représentation (1715–2015)
Although three centuries have passed since Louis XIV’s death, the glory of his reign still shines brightly enough to cast shadows over our own age. Thanks to many fine studies, such as those of Orest Ranum, we now know a great deal about how that glory was manufactured. But because Louis had most of his personal papers burned before his death, there exists, as Thierry Sarmant points out in his essay, no ‘archives of Louis XIV’ that would equip us…
Rebecca L. Spang. Stuff and Money in the Time of the French Revolution
Historians have long recognized that the story of the assignat (French Revolutionary currency) cannot be fairly reduced to a sad chapter in the history of failed experiments in fiduciary money. As Seymour Edwin Harris observed in his seminal work, “the study of the Assignats demands more than an acquaintance with present-day monetary theory: it requires an insight into the conditions during the [French] Revolution” (The Assignats [1930], 204). Bu…
La fin du renversement des alliances: La France, l'Autriche et la déclaration de guerre du 20 avril 1792
Thomas Kaiser, Reversing the reversal of alliances : France, Austria, and the declaration of war ofapril 20, 1792 Since the age of Jaurès, the dominant tendency among French Revolutionary historians of all political complexions has been to attribute the war of 1792 against Austria almost exclusively to the political maneuvers of pro-war factions, especially the Brissotins. The purpose of this article is to show that pro-war factions were compelle…

Madame de Pompadour and the Theaters of Power
The accession of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, Madame d'Etiolles, as Louis XV's maitresse en titre in early 1745 occurred under circumstances that were as daunting as those faced by any previous holder of this position. To be sure, because their security rested on little more than the king's often mercurial favor, all royal mistresses had run the same risk of instant dismissal.' But the events of the previous year-Louis's solemn renunciation and exi…
Lawyers and Citizens: The Making of a Political Elite in Old Regime France
Not only were lawyers heavily represented among the men who rose to power in France in 1789, to a large extent, they also shapted the evolution of French political culture under the ancien regime. David Bell's new book traces the development of the French legal profession between the reign of Louis XIV and the French Revolution, showing how lawyers influenced, and were influenced by, the period's passionate political and religious conflicts. Bell…

Rhetoric in the Service of the King: The Abbe Dubos and the Concept of Public Judgment
IN JUNE 1695, the young abbe Jean-Baptiste Dubos was pondering a phenomenon that had long before and would long afterward puzzle critics of the arts and observers of public taste-the grand of a patently inferior work. How, Dubos wondered, could one explain the prodigious success of Demarest's Didon, an opera which, in fact, was not only intrinsically weak according to the most commonly accepted esthetic standards, but, in addition, had been prese…
