Summary

This volume offers an introduction to a period characterized by diversity and vitality alongside war, plague, revolution and famine. The history of Europe between 1648 and 1688, often associated with the Age of the Baroque, was in fact disturbed by more cross-currents than almost any other period.

"A well-written, sure, compact narrative which does ample justice to every significant aspect of late seventeenth-century Europe" Times Literary Supplement
