How has the concept of democracy been understood, manifested,
reimagined and represented through the ages? In a work that spans
2,500 years these fundamental questions are addressed by 66
experts, each contributing their overview of a theme applied to a
period in history. With the help of a broad range of case material
they illustrate the physical, social and cultural contexts of
democracy in Western culture from antiquity to the present.
Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to
make it as easy as possible to use, chapter themes are identical
across each of the volumes. Superbly illustrated, the full
six-volume set combines to present the most comprehensive and
authoritative survey available on democracy throughout history. The
six volumes cover: 1 - Antiquity (500 BCE-565 CE); 2 - Medieval Age
(565-1450); 3 - Renaissance (1450-1650); 4 - Age of Enlightenment
(1650-1800); 5 - Age of Empire (1800-1920); 6 Modern Age
(1920-present) The ten themes are: Sovereignty; Liberty and the
Rule of Law; The 'Common Good'; Economic and Social Democracy;
Religion and the Principles of Political Obligation; Citizenship
and Gender; Ethnicity, Race and Nationalism; Democratic Crises,
Revolutions and Civil Resistance; International Relations; Beyond
the Polis. The page extent for the pack is approximately 2016pp.
Each volume opens with Notes on Contributors and an Introduction
and concludes with Notes, Bibliography, and an Index. The Cultural
Histories Series A Cultural History of Democracy is part of The
Cultural Histories Series. Titles are available as hardcover sets
