Description:

This is the first full study of the widespread and persistent belief in the existence of a Jesuit conspiracy in nineteenth-century France. Geoffrey Cubitt contrasts perception and reality, and traces the development of a pervasive and powerful myth. His book offers many valuable insights into the political and religious climate of France in the nineteenth century.

Synopsis:

This is the first full study of the persistent belief in the existence of a Jesuit conspiracy in nineteenth-century France. This is one of the most important and enduring conspiracy theories in modern European history, and France was one of its major focuses. In this scholarly and detailed survey, Geoffrey Cubitt examines the range of polemical literature through which the prevalent conviction of Jesuitical plots was expressed, and explores political attitudes both within and outside the Catholic church.
