The book delves into the often-overlooked legitimists of early Third Republic France, presenting a nuanced view of divine right monarchists and their protests. Robert R. Locke utilizes French public archives, libraries, and previously neglected private sources to shed light on these historical figures, challenging the perception of them as mere anachronisms. Through detailed research, the work aims to provide a deeper understanding of their beliefs and significance in the political landscape of the time.
