A survey of the history of Europe during the three centuries
traditionally seen as bridging the "late mediaeval" or
"Renaissance" periods and the early modern age. It shows the
important changes in the political configuration and governing
institutions of Europe, economic developments and social problems,
Europe's relations with the broader world, creative activity and
religious attitudes that begin at the end of the 14th century and
culminate in the early 17th. Themes include the development of
state institutions at both the national and local levels; the
growth of an integrated European economy in the course of a cycle
of depression to recovery; the transition of a Europe under siege
by eastern powers to an expansionist and colonial Europe; the
changing attitudes toward the classical and Christian heritages of
Europe as reflected in educational institutions, curricula and
attitudes and in secular and religious expression. Although the
importance of seeing the entire period as a unit is emphasized
throughout, the book is structured in two parts, dividing around
1450, so that those who prefer the more traditional periodization
can still readily use it.
