M. Bloch's study is devoted to the belief, widespread in France and England in the Middle Ages and Modern times, that the touch of a king's hand could cure a patient suffering from scrofula. This problem may seem private, but at the same time Block answers fundamental questions: what are the origins of monarchical power and what feelings bind the monarch to his subjects; how are the beliefs prevalent in large human communities born and how do they die; what is the mindset of a people and how does it evolve. "The Miracle Worker Kings" is one of the books that gave birth to the "New Historical Science" in France, which revolutionized twentieth-century humanities knowledge.
