Opis

This book investigates the reasons why the Catholic population of Paris increasingly tolerated the minority Protestant Huguenot population between 1685 and 1789.

Recenzje

'Although the Huguenots are a central theme in the historiography of sixteenth - and seventeenth -century France, they tend to fade from view in studies of the eighteenth, appearing in a few dramatic episodes … Garrioch, an expert on eighteenth-century Paris, gives us a fuller picture. He shows how this banned minority managed to survive and eventually thrive in the capital, thanks to the rise of religious toleration over the course of the eighteenth century.' Charles Walton, The Journal of Modern History
