This 1991 book was the first ever English rendition of the classic statement of divine right absolutism, published in 1707 when the power and glory of the French ancien regime was at its zenith. Riley provides a chronology, bibliography and a lucid introduction thus placing Bossuet in his historical and intellectual context.
