History of the Low Countries by J C H Blom
The history of the smaller European countries is rather neglected in the teaching of European history at university level. We are therefore pleased to announce the publication of the first comprehensive history of the Low Countries - in English - from Roman Times to the present.“This remarkable book is the first single-volume history available in English of the region from the Roman times to the present … It successfully integrates recent scholarship [and] is well written throughout … generously supplied with well-chosen maps, and illustrations … it will appeal to general readers as well as scholars interested in this important region” • History: Review of New Books
“… a welcome addition to the historical literature on Belgium and the Netherlands, for … there is no good one-volume history of the Low Countries available … The chapters are written by some of the foremost specialists in their fields, and provide excellent summaries of our present views of the periods in question.” • Dutch Crossing
“The editors … should be congratulated for maintaining a very high degree of stylistic consistency … I very much welcome an English-language translation of this important book.” • Dietrich Orlow, Boston University
“… eminently readable and … solidly based in contemporary scholarship.” • James D. Tracy, University of Minnesota
