Description: Richelieu and his Age by Joseph Bergin, Laurence Brockliss Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Presents studies of Cardinal Richelieus career as chief minister to Louis XIII of France, rejecting the traditional picture of Richelieu as the single-handed creator of the French absolute state, and instead painting a portrait of a statesman politically astute but none the less devout. Publisher Description This study of Cardinal Richelieus career as chief minister to Louis XIII of France presents the original research of eight experts in the field. Linking their work is the belief that Richelieus ministry was a significant moment in the history of early modern France. The authors reject the traditional picture of Richelieu as the single-handed creator of the French absolute state and the original exponent of Realpolitik. Instead theypaint a collective portrait of a statesman politically astute but none the less devout. The Richelieu who emerges is in many respects a conservative figure, but one driven by a genuine desire to establish amore just and peaceful society (both in France and in Europe). The emphasis here then is on Richelieu the Cardinal, not Richelieu the secular statesman. The tragedy and irony of his ministry, as the authors also show, was that in order to maintain himself in power, Richelieu had to behave more like a Renaissance prince than a Counter-Reformation prelate.
