Crowning Glories by Harriet Stone

Examining cultural production during the reign of Louis XIV, Crowning Glories brings together the role of the arts in the monarchy's propaganda wars, the significance of Netherlandish realism in France, and the rise of empiricism in the early modern period.
"This work is notable for its rich, sensitive, and perceptive analysis of the artistic works, and the thought-provoking parallels and contrasts developed throughout" -- Richard Maber * Modern Language Review *

"Stone makes a persuasive claim by demonstrating how Dutch realistic painting gradually chipped away at the French monarchy’s hold on ideas.[…] This claim is bold enough to require extensive explanation, which Stone provides within a strong conceptual framework."

-- Hanneke Grootenboer, Radboud University * H-France *

Harriet Stone is Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Washington University in St. Louis.
