Class and State in Ancien Regime France Summary
|
"Class and State in Early Modern France" explores the economic, social, ideolgical and political foundations of French Absolutism. David Parker's challenging interpretation presents French Absolutism as a remarkably successful attempt to preserve the politcal and ideological structures of the traditional order. This arguement rejects the widespread tendency to treat French Absolutism either as an instrument of capitalism or political modernisation. David Parker's reassessment runs contarary to much revisionist historiography. It also discusses a number of contentious issues such as the agrarian foundations of capitalism and the relationship between class and status. It will be of interest to early modern historians of France, Britain and Europe. |
