About this title: Between the scholars and the general public exists a real and ever-widening gulf. This book is an attempt to bridge that gulf. Many accepted beliefs about Louis XIV's reign, if not about the king himself, are ripe for reappraisal.

"As social histories go, a decent one. The translation at times is awkward, though not excessively so. Social history is innately boring since it deals with the common man, but the author makes a sometimes successful attempt to connect the mass of men with the life and politics of Louis XIV. One is given the impression that the king was not nearly so great and sun-like as we are sometimes led to believe."
