The division of European society and culture along a North/South
axis was one of the most decisive and enduring developments in the
modern world. In North/South, which completes a trilogy of works
devoted to the study of the mind and body of Europe, Ricardo J.
Quinones examines the momentous early modern origins of this
division. Quinones focuses on four concepts connected with the
Protestant Reformation whose emergence defines the rise of the
North and the subjugation of the South: Christian liberty,
skepticism, tolerance, and time. Tracing their influence through
the political and philosophical conflicts of the era and forward
into the Enlightenment, he suggests that they constitute the basis
of Europe's transformation between the sixteenth century and the
dawn of the industrial revolution. A fascinating combination of
cultural and intellectual history, philosophy, and comparative
literature written in the vein of Quinones' award-winning Dualisms,
this work, called "dazzling" by one critic, shows a contemporary
pertinence with the relapse of the South into the subordinate
position which it was thought to have overcome.
