| Summary: | Of the many lost causes in history, one of the most dramatic was the struggle for power and religious rights waged by the French Huguenots in the sixteenth century; and, as lost causes are wont to do, this one inspired poets, writers, musicians and artists for at least two centuries to depict in graphic detail the courageous men who led a zealous minority through miraculous victories, but finally into inevitable defeat. Less dramatic than the heroic period of Huguenot history, and therefore neglected by poets, and also by historians, but no less important—and more significant in the story of the development of religious toleration—is the struggle of the French Protestants in the eighteenth century to secure civil and religious rights. |
