Book Synopsis Early Modern France 1560-1715 by : Robin Briggs
Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive interpretation of a decisive period in French history, from the chaos of the Wars of Religion to the death of Louis XIV. Briggs combines discussion of the major political events with an analysis of the long-term factors which decisively molded the evolution of both state and society. He concentrates especially on identifying and linking changes in economic, social, and political life, as well as discussing the changes in religious attitudes and the nature of popular beliefs.
