A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'This comprehensive account of rapid political and economic change over two centuries should become standard reading for all historians of early modern Europe.' --Theodore K. Rabb, Times Literary Supplement

'A beautiful work of scholarship and synthesis that should immediately become a standard text . . . For the first time, the history of early modern European Jewry is presented as a coherent whole and in a form recognizable to non-Jewish scholars, adhering to all of the standards of scholarship . . . Israel's sparkling book should eliminate that blind spot found in so many historical works, which should be dealing with Jewish themes but have not done so simply because no suitable guide was readily to hand.' --David S. Katz, English Historical Review

'An ambitious and much needed study of Jewish life and culture in the context of Europe's intellectual and religious history . . . a skilful synthesis of current scholarship. To this he has brought his own sharply critical judgement and a highly original interpretative theory . . . highly stimulating.' --Henry Roseveare, Economic History Review
