Synopsis
This book is a study of opinion in France between 1715 and 1723, a time of transition between Louis XIV’s reign and the Enlightenment. It reveals how political and religious conflicts in this period contributed to a shift in mindset that would lay the groundwork for revolution. The book begins with an account of the controversy surrounding the Jesuits and their influence over Louis XIV, who ruled France for 54 years. It then examines how the Regency that followed his death in 1715 saw a resurgence of Jansenism, a religious movement condemned by the Pope. The resulting clash between the proponents of both sides reveals a growing antipathy in France toward the monarchy and the Catholic Church, particularly among the lower classes. The book explores how this sentiment, fueled by economic hardship, paved the way for the political upheavals of the late 18th century.
