Bøker av Alexander Sedgwick

The Arnauld family rose to prominence at the end of the sixteenth century by attaching themselves to King Louis XIV with absolute loyalty and obedience. Sedgwick's engaging history chronicles the Arnauld family's reaction to momentous political and religious developments and offers a unique perspective on a tumultuous period in French history.

Sedgwick presents an intensive examination of the political problems confronting French Royalists, Catholics, and conservative Republicans in their attempt to form a conservative party, within the framework of the Republic, in the decade dominated by the Panama Scandal and the Dreyfus Affair.
