Description
This Handbook re-examines the concept of early modern history in a European and global context.
The term 'early modern' has been familiar, especially in Anglophone scholarship, for four decades and is securely established in teaching, research, and scholarly publishing.
More recently, however, the unity implied in the notion has fragmented, while the usefulness and even the validity of the term, and the historical periodisation which it incorporates, have been questioned.
The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern European History, 1350-1750 provides an account of the development of the subject during the past half-century, but primarily offers an integrated and comprehensive survey of present knowledge, together with some suggestions as to how the field is developing.
It aims both to interrogate the notion of 'early modernity' itself and to survey early modern Europe as an established field of study.
The overriding aim will be to establish that 'early modern' is not simply a chronological label but possesses a substantive integrity.
Volume I examines 'Peoples and Place', assessing structural factors such as climate, printing and the revolution in information, social and economic developments, and religion, including chapters on Orthodoxy, Judaism and Islam.
