Access To History: Louis XIV, France and Europe 1661-1715 2nd Edition by Richard Wilkinson
This second edition charts the reign of Louis XIV and assesses the extent to which he personified absolutism. Drawing upon recent historical research, the author examines historians' views on how far Louis' powers were limited and whether the only respect in which he was 'great' was in the realm of presentation and propaganda. The lively text also examines Louis' religious and foreign policies, and his personality and private life.
Wilkinson's text remains eminently readable, written as it is in a down-to-earth, interesting and accessible styleSchool pupils really like this book...Wilkinson's book remains an enjoyable as well as an invaluable textbook for school pupils, and provides them with a very balanced assessment of Louis XIV's character and achievements. * SATH Resources Review *
