The Low Countries in the Sixteenth Century : Erasmus, Religion and Politics, Trade and Finance Hardback
by James D. Tracy
Part of the Variorum Collected Studies series
Hardback
Description
In the 16th century, the population of the Low Countries (modern Belgium and The Netherlands), the most urbanized and best educated in Transalpine Europe, provided not just a ready audience for ideas of religious reform, but a sophisticated political framework for the airing of the great debates of the age - not to mention ground-breaking innovations in trade and finance.
The present volume reproduces fourteen essays in which James Tracy studies each of these different aspects of Low Countries culture.
Part I focuses on the educational and religious reform proposals of a native son, Erasmus of Rotterdam; Part II looks at the conflicts of the Reformation era, mainly from the perspective of the province of Holland; and Part III examines economic and fiscal development in light of the ongoing tug-of-war between government centralization and the defense of local privilege.
