"The book examines the interactions among religious practices, urbanization processes, and the rise of French Absolutism. It focuses on the cult of Sainte Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, and the ways in w hich social and political developments in the city between 1400 and the French Revolution shaped the cult and were, in turn, shaped by it. Parisians invoked their heavenly patroness by means of liturg y, processions, ex-votos, and private and public prayers. Analyzing these forms of invocation and documenting how different authorities - monastic, municipal, royal, and revolutionary - negotiated and recreated shifting relations with the saint, this study offers a fascinating account of the social history of religion in early modern Paris.
