Licensing Loyalty: Printers, Patrons, and the State in Early Modern France

About this ebook
In Licensing Loyalty, historian Jane McLeod explores the evolution of the idea that the royal government of eighteenth-century France had much to fear from the rise of print culture. She argues that early modern French printers helped foster this view as they struggled to negotiate a place in the expanding bureaucratic apparatus of the French state. Printers in the provinces and in Paris relentlessly lobbied the government, hoping to convince authorities that printing done by their commercial rivals posed a serious threat to both monarchy and morality. By examining the French state’s policy of licensing printers and the mutually influential relationships between officials and printers, McLeod sheds light on our understanding of the limits of French absolutism and the uses of print culture in the political life of provincial France.
Author
Jane McLeod
Jane McLeod was born in 1960 in Auckland, New Zealand, where she has lived most of her life. The inspiration for The Sex Coach came from various conversations about separation with other women, all of whom described a difficult adjustment for family and friends, and some had experienced a period of sexual exploration and freedom. This is Jane’s first novel.
