About this book
Historians have argued over the 'crisis' of seventeenth-century Europe for decades. Taking into account the recent literature on the subject, the author assesses the controversy and offers a new interpretation of the period between 1500 and 1700, focusing on a crucial transition from turmoil to relative tranquility.
