The Anglo-French Entente in the Seventeenth Century

About the author

Born in 1875, Charles Bastide was a French author whose surviving bibliography points to wide-ranging interests in political thought, comparative literature, and international history. Library records and bibliographic databases link him to works including John Locke, ses théories politiques et leur influence en Angleterre and The Anglo-French Entente in the Seventeenth Century.

His writing shows a strong interest in the movement of ideas across borders. One book studies Locke and political liberty, religion, and toleration in England, while another explores the relationship between France and Britain in the seventeenth century. Other records also attribute to him Comment les Américains s'enrichissent, suggesting an additional curiosity about American society and economics.

Very little easily verifiable biographical detail appears to survive online beyond his birth year and his published works. Even so, the record that remains presents him as a serious, internationally minded writer whose books connect intellectual history with the political life of nations.
