France In The Sixteenth Century
I thought this a good basic introduction to the period with some quibbles. The book is divided into three chronological sections'1484-1530, 1530-1562 and 1562-1614. Each of these sections is broken down into 6 chapters: the monarchy, the Church, the nobility, the "people," justice and law, and finally "culture and thought." This leads to the first of my criticisms'because the same period of time is reviewed for each chapter, and because there is naturally some overlap, this leads to some confusion and repetition. Nothing serious though. My second quibble is the very poor indexing. Multiple times I went to the index to refer back to the first mention of an obscure term to refresh my memory only to find that the term had not been indexed. This is a major flaw in a book that is clearly aimed at the academic marketplace.
