Beskrivning

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.

Recensioner i media

'Geoffrey Cubitt's original and important book, the first serious study of the Jesuit myth, provides many startling and even comical insights into the fears and fantasies of the nineteenth-century French Left. Cubitt uses them here as the basis for an incisive analysis of conspiracy theory inside France and beyond.'Robert Tombs, The Observer
