The Development of Modern Europe, Vol. 1: An Introduction to the Study of Current History (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
It has been a common defect of our historical manuals that, however satisfactorily they have dealt with more or less remote periods, they have ordinarily failed to connect the past with the present. And teachers still pay a mysterious respect to the memory of Datis and A rtaphemes which they deny to gentlemen in frock coats, like Gladstone and Gambetta. The gloomy incidents of the capture of Numantia are scrupulously impressed upon the minds of children who have little chance of ever hearing of the siege of Metz. The organization of the Achaean League is given preference to that of the present German Empire. There are some teachers, perhaps, who would seek to justify the current disregard of recent history, but many others would aee with one of the guild who, when criticised for giving more attention in her instruction to Charlemagne than to Bismarck, complained with truth, But we know so much more about Charlemagne than about Bismarck. The great majority of those interested in history would no doubt gladly readjust their perspective if they had the means of doing so; and, indeed, there has been a marked improvement in this respect in the newer books which are giving more and more space to recent events. In preparing the volume in hand, the writers have consistently subordinated the past to the present. It has been their ID ever-conscious aim to enable the reader to catch up with his oown times; to read intelligently the foreign news in the cc morning paper; to know what was the attitude of Leo XIII toward the social democrats even if he has forgotten that of Innocent III toward the A lbigenses.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins with a thought provoking examination of the development of Europe during the last several centuries, with an emphasis on how nations have evolved into what they are today. The author explores the landscape of the 18th century, explaining that it is the key to understanding so much of current society and politics. By looking at the profound changes that occurred in the realms of government, industry, science, and the arts during that period, the author offers a new perspective on our present moment. Ideas, institutions, and customs that we take for granted can be traced to their origins in the 18th century. The book then guides the reader through the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, times of intense and far -reaching upheaval that would forever alter the course of history. Much of the last 200 years can be understood as an attempt to grapple with the profound changes that occurred during these decades. This history of modern Europe is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the present moment.
