Sinopsis

Theodore K Rabb's contemplative book offers a new interpretation of the seventeenth century Europe, focusing on a crucial transition from turmoil to relative tranquility.

Críticas

"Fresh and thought-provoking even after nearly twenty years. Even where I disagree with it I still find it valuable, especially as a demonstration of good history and good historical writing. Should provide fodder for hours of productive classroom discussion."--Robert S. Babcock, Hastings College "Stimulating, concise, and lucid--interdisciplinary approach particularly useful for my students."--A.J. King, University of Pennsylvania "Thought-provoking and compelling."--National Review "The most ambitious attempt yet made to see the seventeenth century as a whole."--Times Literary Supplement
