The essays in this book examine how the West modernized and what
that modernization meant to human society, particularly in Western
Europe and the United States. Within that frame are several
distinct subthemes: the process of industrialization in Europe and
elsewhere; social mobility, class structures, and class
differences; social unrest and the stresses of modernization and
industrialization; economic and social equality and inequality and
their markers; the role of women in modernization; and the origins
of nationalism. The book's chapters discuss these issues from
medieval times through the twentieth century, with particular focus
on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.Contributors John
