The World is Not Enough : The Imperial Vision of Philip II of Spain Paperback
by Geoffrey Parker
Paperback
Description
Often in the past, the Edmondson Lectures have tended to fall into one of two distinct categories: they either conveyed the results of recent historical research, or they constituted a synthesis of a scholar's lifetime work on a subject of major historical importance.
Professor Parker's lectures combine the two approaches in a masterful way as he analyzes the manner in which Philip II of Spain managed his global Empire while being driven - and tragically handicapped - by an overpowering messianic complex.
Parker's lectures combine the most profound insights with a lucidity of presentation.
