The Devil in the Holy Water, or the Art of Slander from Louis XIV to Napoleon - Material Texts
Robert Darnton
Robert Darnton explores the scandalous literature of libel and the colorful lives of libelers in eighteenth-century France. By doing so he shows how an ideological current eroded authority under the Old Regime and became absorbed in a new, more radical, political culture under Robespierre.
