Rezensionen

'Interpreting Early Modern Europe will provide generations of students with a secure guide to how their subject has evolved and is evolving. Its value is enhanced by the inclusion of extracts from important sources and from the writings of key historians.'

Hamish Scott, Canadian Journal of History, 2022

'[M]any [of the authors] are themselves responsible for the current shape of important fields in the discipline of history. [...] No contribution merely dishes up a standard story; many offer strikingly imaginative rethinkings of the subject at hand. [...] In the end, readers will find themselves struck by the ways in which a larger, more original picture of early modern Europe, as a whole, has emerged.'
