Interpreting Early Modern Europe is a comprehensive collection of
essays on the historiography of the early modern period (circa
1450-1800). Concerned with the principles, priorities, theories,
and narratives behind the writing of early modern history, the book
places particular emphasis on developments in recent scholarship.
Each chapter, written by a prominent historian caught up in the
debates, is devoted to the varieties of interpretation relating to
a specific theme or field considered integral to understanding the
age, providing readers with a 'behind-the-scenes' look at how
historians have worked, and still work, within these fields. At one
level the emphasis is historiographical, with the essays engaged in
a direct dialogue with the influential theories, methods,
assumptions, and conclusions in each of the fields. At another
level the contributions emphasise the historical dimensions of
interpretation, providing readers with surveys of the component
parts that make up the modern narratives. Supported by extensive
bibliographies, primary materials, and appendices with extracts
from key secondary debates, Interpreting Early Modern Europe
provides a systematic exploration of how historians have shaped the
study of the early modern past. It is essential reading for
students of early modern history. For a comprehensive overview of
the history of early modern Europe see the partnering volume The
European World 3ed Edited by Beat Kumin -
