Compassion'S Edge: Fellow-Feeling And Its Limits In Early Modern France (Haney Foundation Series)

Compassion's Edge traces the relation between compassion and toleration after France's Wars of Religion. This is not, however, a story about compassion overcoming difference but one of compassion reinforcing division. It provides a robust corrective to today's hope that fellow-feeling draws us inexorably and usefully together.
