The Making of Modern Europe, 1648}}}1780 [Hardcover]

This reissue of a classic textbook has been revised and updated with a new introduction by the author. Geoffrey Treasure provides a thoroughly comprehensive account of the European experience at a time when so much of what is today identified as 'modern' began to take shape.

Discussing key issues of the period, The Making of Modern Europe, 16471980 examines:

• the evolution of the developing society
• detailed studies of the people, their environment, attitudes and beliefs
• economic aspects
• the growth of the states
• politics, war and diplomacy
• religion, intellectualism and science.

This work provides an excellent grounding for the study of seventeenth and eighteenth-century European history.
