These 13 essays in English and 2 in French are organized around three broad themes: the nature of the governing system in France (absolutism); the political crisis of the mid-17th century (the Fronde); and the development of royal finance. The growth of the French state is considered.
This selection of articles is organized around three broad themes: the nature of the governing system in France (Absolutism); the political crisis of the mid-17th-century (the Fronde); and the development of royal finance. The author first considers the growth of the French state in its ideological and institutional aspects, then the opposition such developments provoked, much centred on the figure of Cardinal Mazarin. In the last section particular attention is given to fiscal history, including a comparison of mid-18th-century France with the other states of Europe. Professor Bonney would argue that the fiscal imperative, the increased requirements posed by the costs of war, and the long-term consequences of fiscal growth may be seen as one of the decisive factors in the development of the modern state.
