Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNThe period was marked by complexity: in politics parties were emerging, dividing and revesing their alliances: intenational affairs were complicated by the manoeuvrings of six major European powers; at the same time dramatic economic and social cahnges were occurring, populations were increasing, the family altering, education developing and attitudes to religion changing. Norman Stone makes sense of this confusing era by exploring these common European themes and establishing a political and international chronology for readers to follow. He reveals the individual character of the European countries, discussing the five Great Powers in essay rather than narrative form. He treats war and revolution in a seperate section and concludes by considering the cultural developments of the period.
"The general reader, after deep gulps of prose, will wonder why they were ever led to think that history is a dull subject. Stone′s fellow professionals will only be able to take his narrative in small doses, needing frequent pauses to think, snort or wriggle with envy." The Spectator
′This is a facinating book, elegant, witty, original, informative and many–sided...The general reader, after deep gulps of prose, will wonder why they were ever led to think that history is a dull subject. His fellow professionals will only be able to take his narrative in small doses, needing frequent pauses to think, snort or wriggle with envy... There really cannot have been a teacher like Norman Stone for many years, and his readers will now jealously compete with his pupils for his time.′ John Keeganm Spectator
