They were, in the words of one contemporary observer, "the
Promised Lands." In all of Europe, only Northern Italy could rival
the economic power and cultural wealth of the Low Countries in the
later Middle Ages.In "The Promised Lands," Wim Blockmans and Walter
Prevenier trace the relations between the cultural and economic
developments of the Low Countries and the political evolution of
the region under the rule of the dukes of Burgundy. Combining
political, diplomatic, administrative, economic, social, artistic,
and cultural history, Blockmans and Prevenier have synthesized the
most recent research on the subject--much of it their own--to
produce the most accessible and authoritative book in English on
the subject.This is an updated and revised translation of a classic
work first published in 1988, now expanded and reoriented toward a
broader international readership.
