Description
Mark Greengrass's major account of 16th and 17th century Europe explores the tumultuous changes that led to the collapse of Christendom and shaped the geographical and political frameworks of Western Europe.
The era saw a fundamental shift in the relations between ruler and ruled, as well as a challenge to church authority that forced Christians to re-examine their beliefs. This upheaval had far-reaching consequences, influencing the works of prominent writers such as Thomas More, Shakespeare, Montaigne, and Cervantes, whose creations continue to resonate with us today.
Through a rich tapestry of historical events, Greengrass sheds light on the dramatic changes that transformed Europe, fostering a deeper understanding of the continent's identity today.
