Louis XIV and the Craft of Kingship

By John C. (Editor) Rule

15 essays by a variety of scholars. "These papers offer an introduction to some of the historiographical problems of Louis XIV's reign and also a re-evaluation of many of the current historical interpretations of that period. Each contributor was urged to present his own assessment; and although a surprising consensus emerges from these essays, the editor has not attempted to reconcile points of view when there is a clash of interpretation"--Preface.
