Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richelieu or the Conspiracy; A Play, in Five Acts The cabals formed against this great statesman were not carried on by the patriotism of public virtue, or the emulation of equal talent: they were but court struggles, in which the most worthless agents had recourse to the most desperate means. In each, as I have before observed, we see com bined the twofold attempt to murder the minister and to betray the country. Such, then, are the agents, and such the designs, with which truth, in the Drama as in History, requires us to contrast the celebrated Cardinal -not disguising his foibles or his vices, but not unjust to the grander qualities (especially the love of country), by which they were often dignified, and, at times, redeemed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richelieu, or the Conspiracy: Drama, in Five Acts It has been fairly remarked, by the most impartial historians, that he was no less generous to merit than severe to crime - that, in the various departments of the State, the Army, and the Church, he selected and distinguished the ablest aspirants that the wars which he conducted were, for the most part, essen tial to the preservation of France, and Europe itself, from the formidable encroachments of the Austrian House - that, in spite of those wars, the people were not oppressed with exorbitant imposts - and that he left the kingdom he had governed in a more ourishing and vigorous state than at any former period of the French history, or at the decease of Louis XIV.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chief Minister to King Louis XIII, Cardinal Richelieu was the architect of a new France in the seventeenth century and the force behind the nation's rise as a European power. One of the first statesmen to clearly understand the necessity of a balance of powers, he has captured the imagination of generations, both through the story of his life and through Alexandre Dumas's portrayal of him as a ruthless political mastermind in the classic The Three Musketeers. Jean-Vincent Blanchard's rich and insightful new biography brings Richelieu fully to life in all his complexity. His careful understanding of politics as spectacle speaks to contemporary readers; much of what he accomplished was promoted strategically through his great passion for theater and literature. ƒminence offers a rich portrait of a fascinating man and his era, and gives us a keener understanding of the dark art of politics. "Blanchard's captivating biography vividly captures the rise to power of a seminal figure who was instrumental in creating France as we know it."-Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Lovers of intrigue and derring-do will enjoy Jean-Vincent Blanchard's Eminence ... [His] lively style will appeal to general readers, while history buffs will appreciate his careful footnotes and plethora of primary sources."-The Baltimore Sun

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richelieu: Or the Conspiracy The administration of Cardinal Richelieu, whom (despite all his darker qualities) Voltaire and history justly consider the true architect of the French monarchy and the great parent of French civilization, is characterized by features alike tragic and comic. A weak king, an ambitious favourite; a despicable conspiracy against the minister, nearly always associated with a dangerous treason against the state: these, with little variety of names and dates, constitute the eventful cycle through which, with a dazzling ease and an arrogant confidence, the great luminary fulfilled its destinies. Blended together in startling contrast, we see the grandest achievements and the pettiest agents; the spy, the mistress, the Capuchin; the destruction of feudalism; the humiliation of Austria; the dismemberment of Spain. Richelieu himself is still what he was in his own day, a man of two characters. If, on the one hand, he is justly represented as inflexible and vindictive, crafty and unscrupulous; so, on the other, it cannot be denied that he was placed in times in which the long impunity of every license required stern examples; that he was beset by perils and intrigues, which gave a certain excuse to the subtlest inventions of self-defence; that his ambition was inseparably connected with a passionate love for the glory of his country; and that, if he was her dictator, he was not less her benefactor.
