- This book emerges from three years of archival research supported by a Leverhulme Senior Research Fellowship, and three further years of writing. It re-examines the apparently well-known events of the Fronde of 1648-52, and questions many of the key assumptions and interpretations that have dominated accounts of this episode. It draws on very extensive and paleographically-challenging manuscript sources as well as virtually all extant printed materials. The book, of around 160,000 words, uses a single year as a means to direct a wider revisionist challenge to understandings of seventeenth-century French government and politics.
