Performative Polemic
Anti-Absolutist Pamphlets and their Readers in Late Seventeenth-Century France
University of Delaware Press
Performative Polemic offers a literary history of the French-language pamphlets that denounced absolutism during Louis XIV’s personal reign (1661-1715). The book employs performativity as a conceptual framework to trace the evolution of anti-absolutist pamphlets from legalistic texts indicting the French crown to satirical narratives that transformed the Sun King into a laughable object of derision.
