First Published in 1972, Prelude to Modern Europe provides a political narrative, the social and economic background of events in Europe from 1815- 1914. Woodward's own deep sense for social values and the quality of life emerges conspicuously in his long introductory chapter on European civilization. This is followed by chapters on the major powers, France, Germany, Russia, Italy and the Habsburg Empire. Finally, there is an epilogue describing and discussing the breakdown of the ‘great power’ system. Throughout the book, the author deploys all his unrivalled skills in historical and philosophical commentary, and the result is a tour de force of equal merit with his one volume History of England. This is a must read for scholars and researchers of European history, modern history, and history in general.
