Alexandra Dmitrievna Lublinskaya (Russian: Александра Дмитриевна Люблинская, May 27, 1902 – January 22, 1980)[1] was a Soviet scholar specialising in the history of seventeenth-century France, among other things.
[4][5][6][7] It is a criticism of the general crisis of the 17th century thesis proposed by Hugh Trevor-Roper.
The "general crisis" thesis generated controversy between supporters of this theory and those, such as the Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm, who believed in the "general crisis," but saw the problems of 17th-century Europe as more social and economic in origin than Trevor-Roper would allow.
[8] Her professional publications number over 200, on a great variety of topics, but can be broken into three categories: works on paleography, critical publication of historical documents, and monographs and articles on the social and political history of medieval and early modern France ("the Middle Ages" in Soviet chronology extended to about 1650).
[1] Her magnum opus was a series of books on the history of the administration of Richelieu.
