This book uses the Breton experience to address two fundamental historiographical issues: the meaning of absolutism and the nature of early-modern French society. It abandons the old framework that opposed orders to classes, and instead seeks to find the central meaning of the evolution of the French state in the maintenance of order (especially the preservation of property). Professor Collins's main purpose, illustrated by his fusion of economic, social and institutional approaches, is to combine social and political/institutional history, so long separated in works on this field. Contrary to much received wisdom, Professor Collins argues that absolutism was more facade than reality, and that French society was much more mobile than generally believed.

"The centralizing monarchical discourse has long dominated our perception of the kingdom of France. Jacques Krynen, Jean Barbey, Arlette Jouanna, and many others have traced the evolution of this discourse between the 14th and 17th centuries, when, in their view, it led to a Bourbon monarchy whose relationship to the concept "absolute" differed substantially in their presentations.1 Jouanna has added important correctives to this narrative, both in her insistence on the importance of a noble ideology of resistance and in her careful presentation of "puissance absolue" as an "extraordinary weapon" [arme extraordinaire] in the sixteenth century.2 As she rightly emphasizes, "absolu(e)" took on a new meaning in the seventeenth century, and we must avoid the temptation to view early sixteenth-century developments as the germ of what happened in the middle of the seventeenth century.3"--

La fameuse déclaration « L'État, c'est moi » de Louis XIV ? Un mythe ou, au mieux, une « sottise d'adolescent ». C'est avec une fantaisie et un humour déconcertants, quelques incursions dans notre vie politique contemporaine et le souci constant de « donner place aux faits plutôt qu'aux mythes » que James B. Collins s'intéresse à l'histoire de la société et de l'État français à l'époque moderne. Proposant de rejeter la notion « nébuleuse » d'absolutisme, il considère une évolution qui va d'une monarchie républicaine vers un État monarchique. Dans ce livre, l'auteur s'appuie sur des documents originaux, en privilégiant la province plutôt que Paris. Et, vue de là, la société française d'Ancien Régime n'est pas davantage immobile que le pouvoir royal n'est « absolu ».
