About this book
The Modern Regime, Volume 2 continues Hippolyte Taine's history of France's institutions after the Revolution, examining the Church, education, and society shaped under Napoleon. It suits readers of nineteenth-century French history and those studying Taine's interpretation of the modern French state. Note: The supplied subject area "devotional" appears to be a cataloguing error; this is a work of history and political analysis, so I have described it accordingly rather than repeat an inaccurate classification.
Hippolyte Taine

Hippolyte Taine

Hippolyte Adolphe Taine was a French historian, critic and philosopher. He was the chief theoretical influence on French naturalism, a major proponent of sociological positivism and one of the first practitioners of historicist criticism. Literary historicism as a critical movement has been said to originate with him. Taine is also remembered for his attempts to provide a scientific account of literature.
