The Ancien Regime by William Doyle

First published in 1986 as one of the first titles in the Studies in European History series, this book quickly established itself as the most concise and accessible guide to the meanings and hidden complexities of an apparently straightforward historical category, both in the history of France and Europe as a whole. The second edition now incorporates material which has widened and advanced the historical debate in the intervening years, and includes a completely revised and expanded bibliography.
Reviews of the first edition: 'This essay should become essential reading for any student of the period' - Peter Burley, History Today 'Constitutes an invaluable guide through the literature and the controversies.. This discussion will serve as a useful introduction for both early modernists and students of the nineteenth century.' - Alan Metters, Teaching History
WILLIAM DOYLE is Professor of History at the University of Bristol and a Fellow of the British Academy.
