The French Wars of Religion, 1562–1629

This is a new 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 neighbours

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 new edition updates the

text in the light of new work published in the last decade and the

‘Suggestions for further reading’ has been completely rewritten.

MACK P . HOLT is Professor of History at George Mason University. His

previous publications include The Duke of Anjou and the Politique Struggle

during the Wars of Religion (1986) and Renaissance and Reformation

France, 1500–1648 (2002, ed.)

NEW APPROACHES TO EUROPEAN HISTORY

Series editors

WILLIAM BEIK , Emory University

New Approaches to European History is an important textbook series,

which provides concise but authoritative surveys of major themes and

problems in European history since the Renaissance. Written at a level

and length accessible to advanced school students and undergraduates,

each book in the series addresses topics or themes that students of

European history encounter daily: the series embraces both some of

the more ‘traditional’ subjects of study, and those cultural and social

issues to which increasing numbers of school and college courses are

devoted. A particular effort is made to consider the wider international

implications of the subject under scrutiny.

To aid the student reader scholarly apparatus and annotation is light,

but each work has full supplementary bibliographies and notes for

further reading: where appropriate, chronologies, maps, diagrams and

other illustrative material are also provided.
