Summary "Histoire de France 1715-1723 (Volume 17/19)" by Jules Michelet is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the Regency period of France following the death of King Louis XIV, a transformative time in the nation’s political, social, and economic landscape. The opening portion introduces the era's dynamics, emphasizing the dual nature of the Regency as both a revelation and a moment of upheaval in French society. Michelet articulates the dramatic shift in political authority following Louis XIV's passing, alongside the financial and social revolutions sparked during this time. He presents key figures like the Regent and John Law, detailing their attempts to reform the economy amid widespread corruption and the dire state of the country. This introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the complexities inherent in the transition from the absolutist monarchy to a more enlightened governance approach, foreshadowing the challenges that lay ahead for France in the years following the Regency.
