Description

Bringing together leading scholars from across Europe, as well as the United States, Africa and Asia, The European Way since Homer is a three-volume journey through the political, cultural, religious, intellectual, social and geographical history of Europe.

It synthesises over 150 chapters on topics from across the spectrum of people, places, ideas, art, objects and events that have influenced the shaping of the continent.

In turn, this rich tapestry provides us with unique insights into the nature of European identity, the importance of European heritage and the relationship that exists between Europe and the world beyond its boundaries. Volume 1 places key ongoing issues in Europe within a deeper historical context.

It enriches our understanding of collective memory in Europe and the impact this has for the world around us today.

The roots of central aspects of contemporary European life, including democracy, law, reason, sexuality and equality, are traced, as is the importance of prominent events, individuals and places in relation to the subject. Volume 2 looks at both what brings Europeans together and what pulls them apart through an examination of a series of unifying or dividing principles, encompassing iconic figures and archetypes, social frameworks and mental frameworks. Volume 3 investigates the different links between Europe and the rest of the world.

There is a focus on Europe’s imperial past, as well as the subsequent soft power of Europe and its constant commercial and cultural exchanges with others parts of the world. The European Way since Homer is a vital collection of volumes for all students and scholars of European history.
