内容説明

This book, the culmination of a lifelong career in French history, tackles head-on the central question of the French Religious Wars: Why did France prove so consistently hostile and resistant to Protetantism? Distinguished scholar Nancy Lyman Roelker claims that what ultimately motivated the passion and violence of the civil wars was religion. She demonstrates that not only the body politic but also the body social was defined by Gallican Catholicism. Roelker underscores the role the Parliament played in shaping and safeguarding the social, as well as the political, order. Her study is based on extensive research in the correspond-ence, memoirs, and tracts of mainstream Catholic magistrates as well as dissenters. It creates an overview of the "mentalites" of the Parliament, analyses religious attitudes toward major events of the period, and examines the Parliament's role in the triumph of Henri IV. Along the way, it sheds light on the inner workings of the Parliament and other political institutions, on social structures, and on collective ideas. And above all, this distinguished work brilliantly illuminates the role of religion in society and the state. It will be the definitive work on the subject for many years to come.
