Recensione

"[Jones'] trenchant analysis of the governmental, social, and economic structure of pre-Revolutionary France is clear and nuanced...This brief summary cannot do justice to the persuasive arguments and rich detail which Jones's book offers. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of specialists and undergraduates alike." The Historian

"Reform and Revolution in France displays the best qualities of a textbook; it is carefully organized, crisply written and very up-to-date....This brief summary cannot do justice to the persuasive arguments and rich detail that Jones's book offers. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of specialists and undergraduates alike." James Friguglietti, The Historian

"Jones's work is commendable on many grounds: it synthesizes well so many complex cultural and religious strains in the early seventeenth century that form the character, vision, and ecclesiastical activity of this leader in the diocese of Milan. Borromeo, too is a significant personality for any student of the post-Tridentine era, for he not only knew nearly every major actor in his day and absorbed the intellectual and spiritual energies in his milieu, but he invested heavily his own resources in an institution that sought to promote many genres of art on a amjor scale and to make these public for the salvation of souls." Frederick J. McGinnes, The Catholic Historical Review

Descrizione del libro

This is an up-to-date textbook which links together the end of the French old regime and the start of the Revolution, two periods of history which are often studied in isolation. It combines social and political interpretations of the 'origins' of the Revolution, and takes full account of current debates.
