"A new edition of James Collins's acclaimed synthesis that challenged longstanding views of the origins of modern states and absolute monarchy through an analysis of early modern Europe's most important continental state. Incorporating recent scholarship on the French state and his own research, James Collins has revised the text throughout. He examines recent debates on 'absolutism'; presents a fresh interpretation of the Fronde and of French society in the eighteenth century; includes additional material on French colonies and overseas trade; and ties recent theoretical work into a new chapter on Louis XIV. He argues that the monarchical state came into being around 1630, matured between 1690 and 1730 and, in a new final chapter, shows that the period May 1787 to June 1789 was an interregnum, with the end of the Ancien Régime coming not in 1789 but with the dissolution of the Assembly of Notables on 25 May 1787"--Provided by publisher.

This major new textbook addresses fundamental questions about the nature of the state in early modern Europe through an analysis of the most important continental state, France. Professor Collins abandons the traditional formulation of the absolute monarchy, and presents in its place a state that evolved to meet the needs of the French elites. Collins offers a detailed analysis of French society, to provide the broader context for the development of the French state. The model that emerges from his synthesis is one that relied more on persuasion and congruity of influence than on arbitrary authority, and Collins argues that fundamental changes in French society made the monarchical, ministerial state a dangerous anachronism by the 1750s, leading to political impasse by the second half of the eighteenth century. Collins offers a fundamental reinterpretation of the state relevant to historians and students of political thought.

La France d'Ancien Régime constitue un univers à la fois fascinant et dépaysant pour l'observateur contemporain : la société tout entière est organisée de façon hiérarchique et pyramidale, autour des deux piliers que sont la monarchie et l'Eglise catholique qui, ensemble, gouvernent la vie de 20 à 28 millions de Français, appelés à louer Dieu et vénérer leur roi. Nourri des recherches les plus récentes et appuyé sur une longue expérience pédagogique, ce livre propose des clés pour comprendre les structures et le fonctionnement de la société française des XVIe, XVIIe et XVllle siècles. De manière claire et vivante, il restitue les conditions de vie, les manières de croire et de penser des différentes catégories de Français, et analyse de façon dynamique la lente construction de l'Etat royal ainsi que les contradictions qui exploseront en 1789. Une attention particulière a été portée aux outils et instruments de travail destinés à faciliter la réussite des étudiants de Licence auxquels ce livre s'adresse en priorité.
