This innovative work in comparative urban history explores why
outstanding achievements in material and intellectual culture in
early modern Europe tended to cluster in certain maritime cities.
Patrick O'Brien and his co-editors have assembled a team of
eighteen distinguished historians from Belgium, the Netherlands,
Britain and North America, who have collaborated to make detailed
comparisons of economic, architectural, artistic, publishing and
scientific achievements in three renowned mercantile and imperial
cities during their golden ages: Antwerp (c. 1492-1585), Amsterdam
(c. 1585-1659) and London (c. 1660-1730). The book examines growth
and fluctuations in the fortunes of all three cities in the context
of broader trends in the growing urbanization of Europe's
populations, cultures, societies and economies. The study is
located in the histories of politics, warfare and culture in early
modern Europe and offers fascinating insights to scholars and
students of economic, social and cultural history.
