Louis XIV ruled France for more than half a century and is typically remembered for his absolutism, his patronage of the arts and his lavish lifestyle culminating in the building of Versailles. This original and lively biography focuses on Louiss personal life while keeping the needs of the history student at the forefront, featuring analysis of Louiss wider significance in history and the surrounding historiography. This book balances the undeniable cultural achievements of the reign against the realities of Louiss egotism and argues that, when viewed critically, Louiss rule (16431715) personified the disadvantages of absolute monarchy, and inexorably led to social and political blunders, resulting in the suffering of millions. Richard Wilkinson demonstrates that while Louis excelled as a self-publicist, he fell far short of being a great monarch. This second edition includes an up-to-date and accessible biography, further sections on the women at Louiss court, France in an international context and new material looking at Louiss involvement in ballet. This book is essential reading for all history students and those with a general interest in one of historys most colourful rulers.
