Beskrivning
This is a study of Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries - a period of economic and cultural upheaval, of dramatic changes in politics, society, and religion, and of constant warring among the emergent states. Richard Bonney draws the many strands of this complex history into a comprehensive and exciting account. Based on extensive research, The European Dynastic States is rich in detail and original in approach. It covers such diverse themes as the Reformation, witchcraft, diplomacy, population structure, the growth of capitalism, wars of religion, and wars of expansion. Professor Bonney also examines the Scandinavian countries and Russia, areas frequently neglected by historians. Notes, maps, a chronology, and a guide to further reading will make this book indispensable for students of early modern Europe.

Recensioner i media

`Profesor Bonney naturally draws on his massive erudition in French state-building as a paradigm or contrast to the rest of the European states; but even where he is synthesizing the work of others there is a clear, constructive authorial presence ... This book is a meticulous, highly scholarly work of reference, helped by an ample and modern bibliography ... It will be referred to often and with confidence.'Euan Cameron, History
