  • Contestations et Troubles Religieux en France en 1791. La Mise en Exécution de la Constitution Civile du Clergé

    Open AccessWilliam DoyleARTICLEFrench History2024

    Scholarly self-publication is a double-edged enterprise. On the upside, all limits are self-imposed. There is no publisher, editor or prior peer-reviewer to demand unwelcome cuts or reformulations. The danger or even likelihood of not being noticed or reviewed is on the other side. Rodney Dean deserves better. Over the last 20 years, he has brought out four huge studies in the religious history of the French Revolution, none in his native English…

  • La Noblesse des derniers conseillers secrétaires du roi (1770-1790)

    Open AccessWilliam DoyleARTICLEFrench History2022

    So far from the closed caste of revolutionary (and often historiographical) legend, the French nobility abolished by the National Assembly in June 1790 was the most open elite in Europe. Rich men of social ambition could enter the nobility by buying one of over 4000 ennobling offices. But full hereditary ennoblement was not usually instantaneous. Most families had to spend two successive generations of at least twenty years in office to be recogn…

  • The Long Island play revolution

    Open AccessPasi Sahlberg, William Doyle et al.ARTICLEPhi Delta Kappan2020

    This excerpt from Let the Children Play by Pasi Sahlberg and William Doyle (Oxford University Press, 2019) describes how a Long Island school district began giving children more time for unstructured play during the school day by doubling the recess period, extending lunch, launching optional play clubs, and creating spaces for unstructured activity. At the same time, the district superintendent de-emphasized test scores and discouraged homework.…

  • Bordeaux et les Etats-Unis 1776–1815. Politique et stratégies négociantes dans la genèse d’un réseau commercial

    William DoyleARTICLEFrench History2017

    One of the enduring clichés in the economic history of revolutionary and Napoleonic France is the commercial collapse of Bordeaux. The greatest boom town of eighteenth-century Europe, whose wonderful architecture can still be seen because more prosperous times never returned to knock it down and update it, was abruptly pitched from glittering prosperity to stagnation by upheavals in the Caribbean and maritime war against Great Britain. The econom…

  • Des États dans l’État

    Open AccessWilliam DoyleARTICLEThe English Historical Review2017

    Readers of Tocqueville’s L’Ancien Régime et la Révolution will recall the appendix which he devotes to the Pays d’États and particularly Languedoc. His aim was to highlight the road not taken by the old monarchy in organising the administration of most of the kingdom. Although Tocqueville pointed out that, as well as Languedoc, Brittany and a number of lesser provinces (a good quarter of the kingdom, in fact) also continued before 1789 to be admi…

  • Paris ou Versailles? La monarchie absolue entre deux capitales 1715–1723, by Laurent Lemarchand

    Open AccessWilliam DoyleARTICLEThe English Historical Review2016

    One of the best-known immediate consequences of the death of Louis XIV in 1715 was the abandonment of Versailles as the seat of the court and government by the successor regime of the Regent, Philippe d’Orléans. For seven eventful and experimental years France was governed from Paris, and the great palace created by the grand monarch lay empty. Then, as the boy-king Louis XV approached his majority, a decision was made to transfer the centre of p…

  • Absolute Monarchy on the Frontiers

    Open AccessWilliam DoyleARTICLEThe English Historical Review2016

    It is amazing, looking back, how easily the late Ragnhild Hatton was able to persuade her fellow historians that Louis XIV’s foreign policy was always defensive. That was what he said, of course, as did his great admirer Napoleon a century later. Perhaps they both even believed it. Yet to accept this interpretation involves ignoring abundant evidence that, right from the start of his personal rule, Louis XIV was anxious to extend his territories …

    Understanding just how state leaders respond to fiscal crises and the continuing challenges of adequate funding should provide insight into how successful states are likely to be in creating environments where most citizens can attend and benefit from higher education. This article describes and begins to classify the nature and range of state responses to ongoing fiscal challenges. We focus on state-level leadership and governance, fiscal polici…

    William DoyleCHAPTERThe Oxford handbook of the Ancien…2012

    Slavery and serfdom, together underpinning so much of the economic Ancien Régime, survived the challenges of revolution. Only serfdom in France (already a dwindling relic) and slavery in Haiti disappeared for good. Elsewhere, both systems of servitude reached their zenith. And although both had begun by then to come under attack, the initial impact of the French Revolution was to arrest or retard chances of emancipation as terrified governments a…

    In this book, a team of contributors surveys and presents current thinking about the world of pre-revolutionary France and Europe. The idea of the Ancien Régime was invented by the French revolutionaries to define what they hoped to destroy and replace. But it was not a precise definition, and although historians have found it conceptually useful, there is wide disagreement about what the Ancien Régime's main features were, how they worked, how o…
