Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians and social scientists have long identified bureaucracy as the modern state's foundation and the reign of France's Louis XIV as a model for its development. A World of Paper offers a fresh interpretation of bureaucracy through a close examination of the department of the Sun King's last foreign secretary, Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Torcy. Torcy, who served as foreign secretary from 1696-1715, is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant foreign ministers of the ancien regime. Building on the work of his predecessors, he fashioned a skilled team of collaborators as he managed the complex issues of war and peace during the turbulent final decades of Louis XIV's reign. John Rule and Ben Trotter examine Torcy's department to depict administrative structures as they emerged through the circulating stream of paper that connected his office with provincial administrators and diplomats abroad. They explore the collection and centralization of information during Torcy's tenure through the creation of a modern state archive, discreet intelligence gathering, and the surveillance and management of the French mails. They also study the postal carriers, couriers, household officers of the royal court, genealogists hired for research, and an informal "brain trust" of experts, and advisors who carried vital information in and out of the department every day. A remarkable reconstruction of the department of Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Torcy, A World of Paper demystifies bureaucracy and explores the ways in which the modern information state developed from his labours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Colbert has long been celebrated as Louis XIV's minister of finance, trade, and industry. More recently, he has been viewed as his minister of culture and propaganda. In this lively and persuasive book, Jake Soll has given us a third Colbert, the information manager." ---Peter Burke, University of Cambridge "Jacob Soll gives us a road map drawn from the French state under Colbert. With a stunning attention to detail Colbert used knowledge in the service of enhancing royal power. Jacob Soll's scholarship is impeccable and his story long overdue and compelling." ---Margaret Jacob, University of California, Los Angeles "Nowadays we all know that information is the key to power, and that the masters of information rule the world. Jacob Soll teaches us that Jean-Baptiste Colbert had grasped this principle three and a half centuries ago, and used it to construct a new kind of state. This imaginative, erudite, and powerfully written book re-creates the history of libraries and archives in early modern Europe, and ties them in a novel and convincing way to the new statecraft of Europe's absolute monarchs." ---Anthony Grafton, Princeton University "Brilliantly researched, superbly told, and timely, Soll's story is crucial for the history of the modern state." ---Keith Baker, Stanford University When Louis XIV asked his minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert---the man who was to oversee the building of Versailles and the Royal Academy of Sciences, as well as the navy, the Paris police force, and French industry---to build a large-scale administrative government, Colbert created an unprecedented information system for political power. In The Information Master, Jacob Soll shows how the legacy of Colbert's encyclopedic tradition lies at the very center of the rise of the modern state and was a precursor to industrial intelligence and Internet search engines. Soll's innovative look at Colbert's rise to power argues that his practice of collecting knowledge originated from techniques of church scholarship and from Renaissance Italy, where merchants recognized the power to be gained from merging scholarship, finance, and library science. With his connection of interdisciplinary approaches---regarding accounting, state administration, archives, libraries, merchant techniques, ecclesiastical culture, policing, and humanist pedagogy---Soll has written an innovative book that will redefine not only the history of the reign of Louis XIV and information science but also the study of political and economic history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The personal rule of Louis XIV, following on from a long period of royal minority and apprenticeship, lasted 54 years from 1661 to 1715. But the second half of this personal rule has, until recently, received significantly less scholarly attention than the 1660s and 1670s. This has obscured some of the very real changes and developments that occurred between the early 1680s and the mid-1690s, by which time a new generation of younger royals had come to prominence, France was engulfed in international war on a greater scale than ever before, and the king was visibly no longer as vigorous or healthy as he had once been. The essays in this volume take a close look at the way a new set of political, social, cultural and economic dispensations emerged from the mid-1680s to create a different France in the final decades of Louis XIV’s reign, even though the basic ideological, social and economic underpinnings of the country remained very largely the same. The contributions examine such varied matters as the structure and practices of government, naval power, the financial operations of the state, trade and commerce, social pressures, overseas expansion, religious dissent, music, literature and the fine arts.

Book excerpt: Les archives de Colbert, dont une partie était encore inédite à ce jour, concernent toute la politique française de Richelieu à la maturité du règne de Louis XIV. Pour la première fois, nous suivons pas à pas l'ascension de l'homme de confiance de Mazarin, devenu le principal ministre du Roi Soleil, l'artisan des réformes de fond du régime, le protagoniste d'un rêve économique, dont il supportera mal l'échec. Pour la première fois aussi, " l'affaire " Fouquet et celle des poisons nous apparaissent sans ambiguïté grâce à l'étude méthodique des papiers personnels de Colbert. Le temps de Colbert est-il révolu? A nous de juger. Descendante de Colbert, Inès Murat a eu accès aux archives de sa famille. Elle est l'auteur chez Fayard de Napoléon ou le Rêve américain (1976) et de La IIe République (1987).

Book excerpt: Jean-Baptiste Colbert, qui fut jadis une des figures mythiques du "roman national", est aujourd'hui violemment remis en cause, comme le sont la plupart des "grands hommes" de l'histoire de France. On s'interroge sur les ressorts de son ascension, on s'inquiète de l'origine douteuse de sa fortune, on conteste la pertinence de ses réformes, on souligne son penchant pour l'autopromotion. Pour y voir plus clair, les auteurs explorent de nouvelles sources, dressent pour la première fois un bilan d'ensemble de l'action de Colbert pendant les deux décennies où il fut le ministre de Louis XIV et suivent, sur près de quatre siècles, les avatars du "mythe Colbert". L'itinéraire de Jean-Baptiste n'est pas séparé de celui des Colbert qui l'ont précédé et de ceux qui l'ont suivi. Le portrait de famille éclaire la personnalité de l'homme, dont la psychologie est à son tour révélatrice de l'imaginaire des élites françaises. Replacée dans la longue durée de l'histoire de France, son oeuvre se révèle complexe, foisonnante, pas toujours couronnée de succès sur le court terme, mais incroyablement féconde avec le temps. Elle est une des bases sur lesquelles repose l'Etat tel que nous le connaissons : en ce sens, Jean-Baptiste Colbert mérite bien de demeurer le "grand Colbert".
