This book is a major and original contribution to the idea of Europe and its formation, from its Celtic and German origins, the influence of the Greeks and the Romans, the role of Christianity and the fruitful, if sometimes bloody, contacts with other cultures such as Islam. Peter Rietbergen portrays Europe's history as a series of four grand phases of continuity and change set in the context of political, social and economic developments. A large selecton of illuminating excerpts are included to support the arguments. Europe is comprehensive, thorough and highly readable, and it will provide a stimulus for discussion among students and general readers alike.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537675559185,"sku":"GOR002543547","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49628993356049,"sku":"GOR005370596","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415172306.jpg?v=1750781526"},{"product_id":"europe-book-peter-rietbergen-9781138326149","title":"Europe","description":"Fully revised, updated and extended to include the momentous developments of 2020, the fourth edition of Peter Rietbergens highly acclaimed Europe: A Cultural History is a major and original contribution to the study of Europe.

It was the intensified interaction between culture and power-politics that created what we now call 'the Baroque'. Based on a rich variety of, hitherto largely unexplored, primary sources, the book addresses the basic issues of papal power in the post-Tridentine period. It does not study actual papal politics, but rather the cultural forms that were essential to the representation and legitimatization of the papacy's power, both secular and religious and that (co-)determined the effectiviness of papal policy. Precisely during Urban's long pontificate, the manifold, always imaginative and often unexpected uses of power representation became, in the end, not so much a series of cultural forms as, in a sense, the structure of early modern (Roman) society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53561233735953,"sku":"NLS9789004148932","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789004148932.jpg?v=1778801491"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-peter-rietbergen.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
