Book Synopsis Authority and Sexuality in Early Modern Burgundy (1550-1730) by : James Richard Farr
Book excerpt: As Catholic Reform penetrated and was institutionalized in Early Modern France, legal codes reached further than before into realms of moral behavior. James Farr reveals how Burgundy's dominant, elite legal community attempted to impose new laws and regulations to recover a social order they believed had been destroyed in the upheavals of the sixteenth century.
