Cooper A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Jay M. Smith Chad Bryant Lloyd S. Kramer © 2013 Kirsten L. Cooper ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kirsten L. Cooper: Inventing a French Tyrant: Crisis, Propaganda, and the Origins of Fénelon’s Ideal King (Under the direction of Jay M. Smith and Chad Bryant) In the final decades of the seventeenth century, many voices across Europe vehemently criticized Louis XIV, the most well-known coming from the pen of François Fénelon from within Versailles itself. There were, however, many other critics of varied backgrounds who participated in this common discourse of opposition. From the 1660s to the 1690s the authors of these pamphlets developed a stock of critiques of Louis XIV that eventually coalesced into a negative depiction of his entire style of government. His manner of ruling was rejected as monstrous and tyrannical. Fénelon's ideal king, a benevolent patriarch that he presents as an alternative to Louis XIV, was constructed in opposition to the image of Louis XIV developed and disseminated by these international authors. In this paper I show how all of these authors engaged in a process of borrowing, recopying, and repackaging to create a common critical discourse that had wide distribution, an extensive, transnational audience, and lasting impact for the development of changing ideals of sovereignty. -

Why bother with words in a work devoted to things? asks Pierre Bayle, early modern philosopher and troublemaker extraordinaire. That is: why should the author of an historical-critical dictionary, which deals with things and acts and events, with the content of words rather than with words themselves, concern himself with such a trivial matter as the politeness of style?1 This question, of the relationship between words and things, and the responsibilities of authors using words to describe things, is at the centre of Bayle’s curious semi-provocative semi-apologetic essay or Éclaircissement sur les Obscénités. It is also part of an age-old argument attributed to the Cynics and sometimes the Stoics, which would become a locus communis for early modern discussions of obscenity. -

CHAPTER SIX Roger L’Estrange and the Huguenots: Continental Protestantism and the Church of England1 Anne Dunan-Page, University of Montpellier At the end of October 1680, Roger L’Estrange disappeared from his London home. Traversing muddy roads and wintry seas, he first joined the duke of York in Edinburgh and then set sail for The Hague. There he informed Thomas Ken, the almoner of the Princess of Orange and the future bishop of Bath and Wells, that he intended to take communion at Ken’s Anglican service.2 This was one way to escape charges of crypto-catholicism.3 Another was to make himself scarce. -
Sur L'esprit De M. Arnauld De Pierre Jurieu
SUR L’ESPRIT DE M. ARNAULD DE PIERRE JURIEU par Antony Mc KENNA Ce n’est pas sans naïveté que nous avons entrepris de présen ter un ouvrage de controverse de Pierre Jurieu. Dès qu’il s’est agi de préciser le contexte de la publication de l’ouvrage, nous avons pris conscience de l’immensité de la bibliographie. Nous donnons donc en annexe une bibliographie qui permet de saisir d’un coup d’œil le rôle capital de Port-Royal (ou du moins des principaux théo logiens de Port-Royal) dans la controverse anti-protestante entre 1664 et 1709, ainsi que la place de Jurieu dans cette même bataille. Encore nous sommes-nous limité à la controverse qui ressurgit lors de la Paix de l’Eglise. Pour une bibliographie complète de la controverse entre catholiques et protestants depuis la promulgation de l’Edit de Nantes en 1598, nous nous permettons de renvoyer aux ouvrages capitaux de Jacques Solé, de Louis Desgraves, d’Emile Kappler et de Bernard Dompnier : on trouvera toutes les références utiles à leurs travaux et à quelques autres ouvrages critiques dans notre Annexe bibliographique. La controverse se définit comme une guerre d’informations et d’arguments, d’accusations d’erreur, de mauvaise foi et de calom nie, comme une bataille de propagande. Le principe premier d’une telle guerre est de répondre toujours présent, de répondre coûte que coûte, de ne jamais admettre la véracité de l’adversaire ni même sa bonne foi. La multiplication des écrits et l’âpreté du ton dans la controverse entre catholiques et protestants de la fin du XVIIe siècle répondent bien à ce principe. -
The Polish-Lithuanian Republic of Nobles in the French Political Thought (1573-1795)1
Open Political Science, 2020; 3: 231–242 Research Article Teresa Malinowska* The Polish-Lithuanian Republic of Nobles in the French political thought (1573-1795)1 https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2020-0021 received July 1, 2020; accepted August 10, 2020. Abstract: The modern Polish-Lithuanian Republic drew the attention of many French political authors like Théodore de Bèze, Jean Boucher, Jean Bodin, Henri de Boulainvilliers, Montesquieu, Voltaire or Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The Sarmatian State appeared in French political literature in 1573, when the French prince Henri de Valois was elected king of the Polish-Lithuanian Republic, until 1795, when it disappeared from the map of Europe. It appeared not only in political treaties but also in pamphlets, manifestos and travel literature. This article aims at analysing this continuous presence, which constitutes a fascinating key for reading the French political debates of the modern era. Keywords: Modern republicanism; modern absolutism; mixed monarchy; modern political thought; European history; history of representations; Franco-Polish relationships. In his monography, Olivier Christin wrote about the elections in medieval and modern Europe: “It is precisely by recalling that past that we can understand some of the issues discussed today about the forms of democratic political life”2. This way, the French historian underlined the meaning of political concepts and practices inherited from the past. When talking about the electoral phenomenon in the modern era, one cannot forget the experience of the Polish- Lithuanian Republic. Yet, it seems that it was still poorly apprehended. In 2008, Marc Bélissa made an important statement concerning French eighteenth century studies: if the significance of the English or the Swedish model in the enlightenment republican thought was quite well-known in France and Europe, the influence of the Rzeczpospolita was often forgotten3. -

Pierre Bayle and Human Rights: La Liberté De La Conscience the Genesis of Religious Freedom in Western Democracy
PIERRE BAYLE AND HUMAN RIGHTS: LA LIBERTÉ DE LA CONSCIENCE THE GENESIS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN WESTERN DEMOCRACY Robert Fulton Northern Illinois University It is a monster who during peace makes the evils of war, and whose pride knows no laws.1 In 1685, Louis XIV sent shock waves throughout Europe by revoking the longstanding Edict of Nantes, thereby signaling that he was ready to re-embrace Catholicism as the official religion of the kingdom. In doing so he created one of the largest diasporas of early modern times.2 More than 200,000 of the approximately one million Protestants fled France, using any means available, and some of the Huguenot émigrés formed a small but vocal group of exiles. Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) and Pierre Jurieu (1637-1713) were two Huguenots refugees who left France for the Netherlands even before the Revocation. However, the two of them could not have been more distinct in terms of their political beliefs. While both Bayle and Jurieu defended against ideological assaults by French Catholic intellectuals, Jurieu was just as vehement in his theoretical disputes with fellow Protestants. Bayle, despite his broader (and Enlightenment) reputation as a skeptic, was meanwhile advocating tolerance with respect to all religious beliefs. Indeed, he was one of the first theorists to elaborate a theory of la liberté de la conscience, 1 Pierre Bayle, Ce que c’est que la France toute catholique sous le règne de Louis-le-Grand, in Œuvres diverses, Reprint edition (G. Olms, 1964), tome II, 347. «C’est un Monstre qui dans la paix / Fait les maux de la guerre, / Et dont l’orgueil ne connoît point de loix . -

CHILDREN of the REVOCATION: the REEDUCATION of FRENCH PROTESTANTS AFTER 1685 by ELIZABETH ANN CHURCHICH a Dissertation Submitted
CHILDREN OF THE REVOCATION: THE REEDUCATION OF FRENCH PROTESTANTS AFTER 1685 By ELIZABETH ANN CHURCHICH A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History under the direction of Dr. Jennifer Jones and approved by ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Children of the Revocation: The Reeducation of French Protestants after 1685 by ELIZABETH ANN CHURCHICH Dissertation Director: Jennifer M. Jones, Ph.D. This dissertation examines the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in late seventeenth-century France and its connections to the absolutist monarchy of Louis XIV and the shifting educational ideals of the period. Focusing on the detailed implementation of the edict in Paris, it discusses the importance of the development of a new bureaucratic structure that allowed Louis XIV to remain relatively involved in the details of implementation, while entrusting the daily operations to individuals loyal to the crown. Placing the Revocation in the context of administrative expansion, growing central control, and idealized Christian kingship, Louis XIV’s decision to end toleration of Protestantism in France becomes clearer. It also argues that education and social reform were central in the conception and execution of this edict, and that the Revocation was part of a moment in which conversion through education appeared possible. In combining religious conversion and education in an effort to form Protestants into French Catholics, Louis XIV built upon an absolutist vision of education and connected his efforts to a flourishing debate. -
Pierre Bayle : Toleration and History
PIERRE BAYLE, TOLERATION AND HISTORY This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no copy or paraphrase of material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis. iii - PIERRE BAYLE, TOLERATION AND HISTORY "A study of the influence of Bayle's defence of toleration on the idea of history expressed in the Dictionnaire historique et critique". by John Cashmere, B.A., Dip. Ed. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA HOBART JUNE 1969 v PREFACE The intention of this present study is to examine Pierre Bayle in his context as an historian rather than a philosopher. The purpose of the thesis will be to analyse the influence exerted upon his idea of history by the arguments which he advanced in defence of toleration in the Dictionnaire historique et critique. I shall attempt to show that while his idea of history remained essentially seventeenth century in character, the demands of his defence of toleration led him to make certain departures from the traditional seventeenth century concept of history, and that in doing so he reached conclusions which represented the begin- nings of a dramatic metamorphosis in French historical thought. The fact that until recently Bayle has been viewed primarily as a philosopher has tended to overshadow his abilities as an historian. The title of "le philosophe de Rotterdam" which has been bestowed upon him seems to ignore the fact that while at the "Ecole Illustre" he held the post of "professeur en philosophie et en histoire". -

Huguenots in the Dutch Republic After 1685 Michael Joseph Walker Department of History, BYU Master of Arts In the seventeenth century, many refugees saw the United Provinces of the Netherlands as a promised land—a gathering ark, or in French, arche. In fact, Pierre Bayle called it, “la grande arche des fugitifs.” This thesis shows the reception of one particular group of Protestant refugees, the Huguenots, who migrated to the Netherlands because of Catholic confessionalization in France, especially after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. -
