Full description for The European World 1500-1800
"The European World 1500-1800" provides a concise and authoritative textbook for the centuries between the Renaissance and the French Revolution. It presents early modern Europe not as a mere transition phase, but a dynamic period worth studying in its own right. Written by an experienced team of specialists, associated with a university module of the same name, it offers a student-friendly introduction to all major themes and processes of early modern history.Structured in four parts dealing with socio-economic, religious, cultural and political issues, it adopts a broad geographical perspective: Western and Central Europe receive particular attention, but dedicated chapters also explore the wider global context. Thematic priorities include social structures, Reformation change, expanding cultural horizons and the emergence of the modern state. Specially designed to assist learning, "The European World 1500-1800" features: up-to-date surveys of key topics written by an international team of historians; suggestions for seminar discussion and further reading; extracts from primary sources and vivid illustrations, including maps; a glossary of key terms and concepts; a chronology of major events; a full index of persons, places and subjects; and, selected web resources and a textbook homepage. "The European World 1500-1800" will be essential reading for all students embarking on the discovery of the early modern period.
