The world of the first half of the sixteenth century was
exceptionally dynamic. Voyages of discovery made the world larger;
science and technology were revolutionized; Christian thought
underwent a powerful renewal; the population and economy grew. And
in the midst of this constellation of change, one man - the Emperor
Charles V - ruled a conglomeration of territory more extensive than
that previously held by any ruler in European history. What can one
person, given an inordinate amount of power by quirk of fate,
achieve? How much freedom did he in fact have? Did it help him
reach his objectives? What unwanted results ensued from his
actions? The relationship between the will of an individual and the
power of structures in times of such mutability is at the core of
Blockman's enquiry. He brings to the task a range of languages -
without which it is scarcely possible to do justice to Charles's
widespread, linguistically diverse imperium - a keen awareness of
the most recent findings in modern scholarship, and the fruits of a
professional lifetime's reflection.
