Brian Sandberg: Historical Perspectives 
Mr. Sandberg,
Currently a PhD candidate in modern history, I am very interested in these new approaches of the seventeenth century French.
I wanted to know whether these interventions should be published quickly, particularly that of Mr. Coons, and the interventions of Mr Ranum and Dewald that you mention in another of your articles.
Sincerely,
A French reader,

Mathieu Servanton:
Thanks for your question and for your interest in the “Creating Communities through Coercion” session at the recent AHA conference.
Jim Coons’s presentation is part of his doctoral dissertation, in progress at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. I do not know if he is planning on trying to publish his paper as an article in the near future.
The interventions by professors Ranum and Dewald were part of the general discussion, rather than formal papers, and will not be published.
My own first book, Warrior Pursuits: Noble Culture and Civil Conflict in Early Modern France (Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010), is available. I am currently working on a second book on religious violence after the Edict of Nantes.
Let me know if I can provide you with additional assistance or references for your own research. Feel free to contact me by e-mail at: bsandberg@niu.edu
best,
Brian Sandberg
Thank you very much for your reply. I keep your email address in mind.
Good luck in your research,
Regards,
M.S.
