Considerations on France

by Joseph de Maistre · 1796

+ Want to read

Although Maistre's influence within France was delayed until the Restoration, he is now acknowledged as the most eloquent spokesperson for continental conservatism. Arguing for a new alliance of throne and altar under a restored Bourbon monarchy, his work presents a providential interpretation of the French Revolution.
