Publisher Description

Who granted France’s clergy, nobles, and king their privileges—and how did those privileges come to shape an entire society?

In the France before the Revolution of 1789, authority rested on an old hierarchy: the clergy served spiritual and cultural life, the nobility bore military duties, and the king governed. Hippolyte Taine traces how these roles and their privileges took root, hardened, and shaped the lives of a nation. His inquiry follows the distance between what each class was meant to do and the power it came to hold. As inherited rights press against a changing political world, what strains will the ancient order be unable to bear?
