Synopsis

This book is a collection of essays that explore the complex relationship between England and France from the reign of Louis XIV to the War of the Spanish Succession. The author draws upon a range of literary, historical, and political sources to analyze the evolving attitudes towards French cultural, social, and political power. The book not only provides new insights into the historical interactions of the two nations, but also explores their broader political ideas and the cultural backdrop against which competing ideas about national identity were formed. Ultimately, the author shows that Anglo-French relations were shaped by far more than just political rivalry and territorial conflict, and that the two nations both shaped and were shaped by their interactions with each other in what became a formative period for both nations.
