Its true motive, however, was to expropriate their revenues and holdings. Hickey shows how, in spite of government efforts, a countermovement emerged that to some degree foiled the Crown's attempts to suppress local hospitals. Charitable institutions, churchmen inspired by the new message of the Catholic Reformation, women's religious congregations, and community elites defied intervention measures, resisted proposed changes, and revitalized the very type of institution the Crown was trying to shut down. Hickey's conclusions are supported by a study of eight local hospitals, which allows him to measure the impact of Crown decisions on the day-to-day functioning of these local institutions. Challenging the interpretations of Michel Foucault and other historians, Hickey throws new light on an important area of early modern French history. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's/Hannah Institute studies in the history of medicine, health, and society ;$v5. 606 $aHospitals$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aMedical policy$zFrance$xHistory 615 0$aHospitals$xHistory. 615 0$aMedical policy$xHistory. 676 $a362.1/1/094409 700 $aHickey$b Daniel$01094067 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825146903321 996 $aLocal hospitals in Ancien Re?gime France$93964189 997 $aUNINA
