This book is intended for all students of modern European history.
It aims to be both an essential reference for undergraduates
working on their own, and to form a valuable basis for courses in
the subject. The book's sixteen thematic chapters - each written by
a leading scholar in the field - cover social and economic change,
as well as the rise and fall of all the major political movements
and the immense changes generated by war and international
diplomacy across Europe in this period.
Designed to act as a bridge between introductory surveys and the
mass of specialized literature, the book offers both analysis and
information. Throughout, the reader is introduced to the range of
competing interpretations of themes and events in the period, and
is encouraged to develop a critical framework for study. The
chapters are supported by concise biographies of all the major
figures, an up-to-date guide to further reading, a chronology of
the main events, and numerous maps and tables.
A Companion to Modern European History includes chapters
on:
population trends
the intenational economy
leisure and society
the rise of European feminism
revolutionary movements
European imperialism
