Summary

The second half of Louis XIV’s personal rule, his "third reign," has not received adequate historical attention. The chapters in this volume therefore examine a range of important subjects – from royal finances to architecture – to illuminate the changes that came over France between c.1682 and the king’s death in 1715.
