Communities of Belief: Cultural and Social Tensions in Early Modern France
Briggs, Robin (Senior Research Fellow, Senior Research Fellow, All Souls College, Oxford)
This fascinating study of early modern France shows how the communal, oral culture of an older Europe came to be replaced by a recognizably modern culture. Robin Briggs examines the conflicts caused by social and intellectual change and the tensions between the elite and the common people, and explores major issues including the family, witchcraft, church and state, and popular revolt.
