This reassessment of Louis XVI's short-lived constitutional monarchy of 1789-92 examines the king's hitherto neglected domestic activities in Paris in this period. Ambrogio A. Caiani argues that the monarch's symbolic behaviour and the organisation of his daily activities and household were essential factors in his increasing alienation from the people.
