Europe in the Sixteenth CenturyThis general survey of Europe in the era of Renaissance and Reformation looks at sixteenth-century Europe as a complex but interconnected whole, rather than as a mosaic of separate states. The authors explore its different aspects through the various political structures of the age--empires, monarchies, city-republics--and how they functioned and related to one another. A strength of the book is the space it devotes to the growing importance of town-life in the sixteenth century, and to the economic background of political change. |
