Farr provides a thorough and thoughtful survey of the literature, highlighting important recent work and skillfully integrating the specialized findings of French labor history with the broader concerns of early modern history. * Journal of Modern History * This exceptional book fully deserves the wide audience of scholars and students to which it is addressed. . . . For scholars and teachers, Work of France offers a powerful interpretive model; for their students, a lively and handsomely written introduction to the society and culture of premodern Europe. * Sixteenth Century Journal * A broad-ranging, powerfully argued, and innovative account of the world of work and its relationship to the key transformations of the early modern centuries. It succeeds on many levelsas a lively and accessible introduction to the early modern world for undergraduates and as a provocative interpretative framework for scholars. -- Julie Hardwick, University of Texas at Austin
