Devenir curé à Paris
Malgré l'affaiblissement des repères du catholicisme en France, le personnage du curé est encore familier aujourd'hui. Il fait partie d'une institution qui remonte aux temps carolingiens. Elle s'insère dans un cadre canonique variable selon les époques, dont la complexité peut décourager l'historien risquant le contresens ou même le non discernement de nombreuses stratégiques ecclésiastiques. Cette étude montre les différents modes d'accès canoniques aux cures, la proportion des changements et les procédures de remplacement, les attraits financiers grâce aux sources fiscales, sans oublier la "considération" du curé dans la société.

Sully
Né sous François II, Maximilien de Béthune, devenu duc de Sully en 1606, est mort à la fin du règne de Louis XIII. Mais, sur ses quatre-vingt-deux années de vie, il n'en a passé qu'une douzaine au pouvoir auprès d'Henri IV, et il n'a été tout-puissant que pendant cinq ans, de 1605 à 1610. Cette courte période lui a suffi pour donner une vigoureuse impulsion à la reconstruction économique, financière et matérielle du royaume après quarante ans de guerres civiles. On lui doit notamment la place Royale (place des Vosges) et la place Dauphine à Paris, la remise en état des voies de communication, la construction de ponts et de canaux, la rénovation du réseau des fortificatio...

The Politics of Piety
The Politics of Piety situates the Franciscan order at the heart of the religious and political conflicts of the late sixteenth century to show how a medieval charismatic religious tradition became an engine of political change. The friars used their redoubtable skills as preachers, intellectual training at the University of Paris, and personal and professional connections with other Catholic reformers and patrons to successfully galvanize popular opposition to the spread of Protestantism throughout the sixteenth century. By 1588, the friars used these same strategies on behalf of the Catholic League to prevent the succession of the Protestant heir presumptive, Henry of Navarre, to the French throne. This book contributes to our understanding of religion as a formative political impulse throughout the sixteenth century by linking the long-term political activism of the friars to the emergence of the French monarchy of the seventeenth century. Megan C. Armstrong is assistant professor of early modern Europe in the History Department of the University of Utah.
Jesuit Father François Annat and his Role as Minister for Religious Affairs in 17th Century France
This book explores the tremendous impact of Jesuit Father François Annat (1590-1670), a French government appointee at Court. His religious superiors approved of his taking on this work for the Crown. He served as Minister for Religious Affairs, or Royal Confessor or ‘keeper of the king’s conscience’, for Louis XIV. During Annat’s confessorate of sixteen years, no internal conflict in the Gallican Church was so strong as the Jansenist controversy. Today everything seems different, as revisionist history has viewed Jansenism as an orthodox Augustinian alternative to explain the Catholic Faith, in contrast to the prevailing Spanish Molinism and Suarezianism, whose roots were in Thomism and Aristotle. There was intense internal struggle within the French Church to devise a legal formulary that might decrease the strength of Jansenism. The present work examines the life of Annat in all of its complexities, a life which may have been forgotten by history if not for the celebrated literary figure Blaise Pascal, who was a committed Jansenist and foe of François Annat.

Warrior Pursuits
How did warrior nobles’ practices of violence shape provincial society and the royal state in early seventeenth-century France? Warrior nobles frequently armed themselves for civil war in southern France during the troubled early seventeenth century. These bellicose nobles’ practices of violence shaped provincial society and the royal state in early modern France. The southern French provinces of Guyenne and Languedoc suffered almost continual religious strife and civil conflict between 1598 and 1635, providing an excellent case for investigating the dynamics of early modern civil violence. Warrior Pursuits constructs a cultural history of civil conflict, analyzing in detail how provinci...
The Hypocrisy of Justice in the Belle Epoque
The Dreyfus Affair of the 1890s and the violent controversies that surrounded it appeared to pass two very different judgments on the France of the Third Republic. The outcome o the trial—Captain Dreyfus convicted without guilt and the real traitor acquitted despite guilt—demonstrated without question the extraordinary hypocrisy of the military justice system. But the furor raised by Dreyfus' conviction and the agitation for his release suggested that the injustice of the courts' verdict was uncharacteristic of French society; that for France as a nation the rendering of justice was paramount, even at the expense of disgracing both the military and a conspiring government. In The Hypocri...
