| Summary | "Histoire de France 1724-1759 (Volume 18/19)" by Jules Michelet is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume delves into a critical period of French history, transitioning from the Regency under Fleury to the reign of Louis XV. The narrative focuses on the political intrigues within the royal court, illuminating the complexities of power dynamics and the interrelationship between religion and governance during a time marked by secrecy and significant events that shaped France’s future. The opening of the text sets a context for this historical investigation, highlighting the obscured intricacies behind Louis XV's reign as portrayed through the lens of various historical figures and their influences. It introduces key characters such as Fleury, the young king, and those who maneuvered around them, shedding light on the deep connections between royal authority and the undercurrents of family interests. In the discussions of court life, Michelet emphasizes the contrast between the apparent tranquillity of the monarchy and the underlying tensions and conspiracies, portraying a rich tapestry of historical events leading up to the significant wars and reforms of the period. The narrative intricately weaves personal narratives with broader historical shifts, suggesting a complex interplay between individual ambitions and state affairs.
