Absolutist Attachments uncovers the affective and media connections that shaped Louis XIV's absolutism. Studying literature, painting, engravings, correspondence, and the emerging periodic press, Hogg diagnoses the emotions that created absolutism's feeling subjects and publics. Absolutist Attachments discovers absolutism's alternative political and cultural legacy--not the spectacle of an unbound king but the binding connections of his subjects.
