Abstract:
"Designed as a user-friendly, desktop companion for students and teachers, this new volume in the Longman Handbook series embraces the major aspects of European history during the early modern period, from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Within the broad canvas of this new volume, attention has been devoted to those themes (such as the Reformation, the rise of Imperial Spain, the Revolt of the Netherlands or the Thirty Years' War) which are still most widely studied."--BOOK JACKET.
