One of the most fierce and wide-ranging debates in historical
circles during the last twenty years has concerned the theory that
throughout Europe, the seventeenth century was a period of crisis
so pervasive, significant and intense that it could be labelled a
'General Crisis'. A number of articles stimulated by the debate
were collected and published in a book entitled Crisis in Europe,
edited by Trevor Aston.
This volume takes the still acrimonious debate up to the present
day. The editors have collected together ten important subsequent
essays concerning the social, economic and political crises which
affected not only Europe but also Asia in the mid-seventeenth
century. All the pieces are essential reading for a clear
understanding of the period. This new edition of The General Crisis
of the Seventeenth Century contains fresh research, new
perspectives and completely updated bibliographies and index.
