The French Wars of Religion, 1562–1629

By: Mack P. Holt

This book is a 2005 edition of Mack P. Holt's classic study of the French religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Drawing on the scholarship of social and cultural historians of the Reformation, it shows how religion infused both politics and the socio-economic tensions of the period to produce a long extended civil war. Professor Holt integrates court politics and the political theory of the elites with the religious experiences of the popular classes, offering a fresh perspective on the wars and on why the French were willing to kill their neighbors in the name of religion. The book has been created specifically for undergraduates and general readers with no background knowledge of either French history or the Reformation. This edition updates the text in the light of new work published in the decade prior to publication and the 'Suggestions for further reading' has been completely re-written.

The Politics of Wine in Early Modern France

Religion and Popular Culture in Burgundy, 1477–1630

By: Mack P. Holt

In the late fifteenth century, Burgundy was incorporated in the kingdom of France. This, coupled with the advent of Protestantism in the early sixteenth century, opened up new avenues for participation in public life by ordinary Burgundians and led to considerably greater interaction between the elites and the ordinary people. Mack Holt examines the relationship between the ruling and popular classes from Burgundy's re-incorporation into France in 1477 until the Lanturelu riot in Dijon in 1630, focusing on the local wine industry. Indeed, the vineyard workers were crucial in turning back the tide of Protestantism in the province until 1630 when, following royal attempts to reduce the level of popular participation in public affairs, Louis XIII tried to remove them from the city altogether. More than just a local study, this book shows how the popular classes often worked together with local elites to shape policies that affected them.

Geneva and the Coming of the Wars of Religion in France (1555-1563). New edition / Foreword by Mack P. Holt / Postface by Robert M. Kingdon

By: Robert M. Kingdon,Mack P. Holt

Au temps des guerres de religion de nombreux pasteurs formés à Genève prirent part aux conflits et tentèrent d’amener la Fille aînée de l’Eglise à la foi réformée. Geneva and the Coming of the Wars of Religion in France (1555-1563) met en évidence le rôle déterminant que certains prédicateurs jouèrent dans cette période de troubles, révélant l’imbrication, une fois encore, des pouvoirs religieux et politique. Cet essai ayant considérablement marqué la pensée historique sur la Réforme, un tel classique se devait d’être réimprimé. Dans sa postface à la nouvelle édition, Robert Kingdon livre moult détails sur la genèse de l’ouvrage dont l’édition initiale remonte à la Guerre froide.
