In a wide-ranging look at gift giving in early modern France, the author reveals the ways thet gift exchange is crucial to understanding alliance and conflict in family life, economic relations,politics, and religion. Examining gifts both ethnographically (through archives, letters, and other text) and culturally (through literary, ethical, and religious sources), Davis shows how coercitive features in family life and politics, rather than competition from the market, disrupted the gift system.
