Set against the backdrop of the suppression of Jansenism and the monitoring of public spaces, the author explores the efforts of the French state to maintain social and religious order. Through a series of fascinating case studies involving booksellers, printers, and other individuals accused of violating moral or religious norms, the book sheds light on the tensions between authority and individual freedoms during a turbulent period in French history.
