McFadin Marquette University, [email protected] Undergraduate recipient (Junior/Senior category) of the Library's Maria Dittman Award, Spring 2010. Paper written for History 4995 (Independent Study) with Dr. Julius Ruff. © Christopher M. McFadin 1 Quel horreur! : Violence in Reformation France By Chris McFadin History 4995: Independent Study on Violence in the French Wars of Religion, 1562-1629 Dr. Julius Ruff November 9, 2009 2 Oh happy victory! It is to you alone Lord, not to us, the distinguished trophy of honor. In one stroke you tore up the trunk, and the root, and the strewn earth of the heretical vermin. Vermin, who were caught in snares that they had dared to set for your faithful subjects. Oh favorable night! Hour most desirable in which we placed our hope. 1 Michel de Roigny, On the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, 1572 The level of sectarian violence that erupted in Reformation France was extraordinary. Otherwise ordinary Catholics tortured their Huguenot neighbors to death and then afterwards mutilated their corpses, sometimes feeding the disfigured remains to farm animals. Catholic children elicited applause from their coreligionists as they killed adult Huguenots by tearing them to pieces. Huguenots assaulted Catholic priests during the Mass, pillaged Catholic churches, and desecrated the Host. Indeed, as the sectarian duel increased in frequency and intensity, a man could be killed for calling someone a Huguenot; both sides used religion to rationalize the assassinations of dukes and kings.

Aldershot, Hamps. and Burlington, Vt.: Ashgate, 2004. xii + 336 pp. Figures, notes, and index. $109.95 U.S./£57.50 U.K. (cl). ISBN 0-86078-920-9. Review by Jotham Parsons, Duquesne University. The volumes of the Variorum Collected Studies Series are not among the cheapest of academic books, but they are often among the most satisfying. A comprehensive collection of a scholar’s articles is more than just a handy reference work, saving one the trouble of tracking down obscure journals, conference proceedings, and Festschriften. In some respects, it is more valuable, or at least more revealing, than a collection of the same scholar’s monographs, for it gives the reader a much more complete and higher- resolution picture of the interests, influences, and exogenous forces that shape an academic career. Such is certainly the case with the present collection of Ralph Giesey’s articles, spanning a period of nearly forty years. They testify to the breadth of the author’s interests, ranging from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries and from royal ceremonial to family property to the glosses of the civil law. They also reveal a unifying ambition, though: to understand old-regime France through its laws and legal thinkers. In pursuing that ambition, Giesey has had fewer peers than one might have thought, and fewer followers than one might have hoped. Professor Giesey was a student of Ernst Kantorowicz, perhaps the twentieth century’s most profound student of the pre-modern European political imagination.

  • Resistance and Order in Early Modern France
    H-France Salon Volume 4 1 Resistance and Order in Early Modern France James B. Collins Georgetown University Comments Delivered at Society for French Historical Studies Charleston, South Carolina 11 February 2011 Roughly a quarter century ago, two books destined to redraw the map of early modern French historiography came out within months of each other, one with Oxford, the other with Cambridge. They were, of course, Sharon Kettering’s Patrons, Brokers and Clients and Bill Beik’s Absolutism and Society.1 Over the last decade, I’ve often had to listen to people talk about the unholy trinity of Beik, Collins, and Mettam,2 the dreaded “revisionists”: that formulation has always seemed to me to represent a complete misunderstanding of what happened between the appearance of the books of Bill and Sharon and, say, the mid 1990s. Bill and Roger Mettam are really very far apart on “absolutism”: lumping them together shows a complete lack of understanding of their work.3 In a review essay published in 1989, Peter Burke rightly noted of Mettam’s book that it largely addressed issues current when Roger finished his thesis, in 1973, but did not take into account the great changes of the mid 1980s, not simply the books of Sharon and Bill (the former part of the review essay), but even of Goubert and Roche’s Les Français et l’Ancien Régime (1984).4 Burke was a bit unfair – Mettam specifically referred 1 S.

The idea, as historian of the revolution Albert Sorel wrote in 1885, was that "geography determined French policy": that, since the sixteenth, if not the twelfth, century, France had undertaken a steady and consistent expansion to reach the Atlantic, Rhine, Alps, and Pyrenees.' These were "the limits that Nature has traced," which Cardinal Richelieu had proclaimed, the same boundaries "marked out by nature" invoked by Georges-Jacques Danton.

    A DELICATE BALANCE: ROYAL AUTHORITY IN SEVENTEENTH CENTURY FRANCE by KENT WARREN JONES, B.A. A THESIS IN HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved Accepted May, 1992 TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION . 1 II. INSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY. 7 III. PATRONAGE AND POWER. 69 IV. J.-B. BOSSUET AND THE "ABSOLUTE" MONARCHY. 100 BIBLIOGRAPHY . 112 ii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION French royal absolutism is an insidious historical myth. Insidious because it is so seductive, a myth because it is a generalization propagated by historians too ready to believe Louis XIV's propagandists. Part of the reason for the creation and survival of this myth is its role in providing a convenient starting point for studying the French Revolution. The tale of absolutism in France prospered during the nineteenth century because it fit well with the pro-republican and anti-monarchical political values of many of that era's historians.1 By the twentieth century, the Sun King's absolutism was a firmly entrenched part of the historical orthodoxy. This alone ensured that historians in the first half of the century continued to discuss the seventeenth-century French state within the context of absolutism. More importantly, the absolutist model survived because it was a product of traditional history. History was written, as it had always been, primarily as the story of great men and their institutions. When a Georges Pages or Gaston Zeller wrote about seventeenth-century France, they almost inevitably described an absolutist state, using abundant archival evidence of lparticularly in the works of the Romantic historians, for example, Jules Michelet in History of the French Revolution (1847-53).

The only link between the two books joined in this review is that both deal with the ancient class of the peasantry; otherwise they are very distant in subject and scope. Franklin's is a sociological study of the state and prospect of European peasantry, East and West; Mousnier's is a historical story of seventeenth-century peasant revolts in France, Russia, and China. Perhaps the two books share one more aspect—both are works of real scholarship, yet both, for different reasons, tend to leave the mind unsatisfied. In Mousnier's case the reason is obvious enough. The author's reputation vouches for the quality of his material and his handling of it, but it is difficult to identify either unity of subject or of conclusions in this book.

    1 H-France Salon Vol. 7 (2015), Issue #13, #8 Microclimates Jonathan Dewald University at Buffalo, State University of New York Michael Breen introduces the print version of these essays by noting the collection’s two intertwining purposes: first, to present “a cross-section and a sampling of scholarly currents in France today;” second, to introduce non-specialist and Anglophone readers to a younger generation of historians, whose work is only now becoming widely known outside France (pp. 525-26). To be sure, in this domain sampling—whether of scholarly currents or youthful historians—can only be an imperfect science. Although French intellectuals have been worrying for decades about a contemporary “crisis of history,”[1] French early modernists continue publishing in dazzling abundance, addressing a wide range of topics and applying multiple approaches to them. No group of five essays could fully exemplify this exuberant creativity. But if we put sampling problems aside and approach these articles looking for broad tendencies in contemporary historical thinking, what patterns emerge? As a start in this mapping exercise, it helps to note some absences from the collection, some zones of the historian’s territory into which these five scholars do not venture.[2] Thus, none of the essays deals with rural society, demography, deviants and the abandoned, popular culture, or the illiterate—topics that through the 1970s seemed to define the essence of modern French historical scholarship.[3] The paradigmatic methods of mid-twentieth-century historical writing are missing as well: none of these essays refers to “structures” or to the concept of “total history,” the idea that the historian can grasp all the forces that shaped a given society, provided at least that s/he selects a properly delimited area for study.
