Summary
Lying between the two great "peaks" of European history, the Reformation and Enlightenment, the 17th century can appear not to have a popular identity itself. The contributors to this work, however, show the heavy significance of 17th-century events, addressing society, politics and culture.

The Seventeenth Century by Joseph Bergin
The complete short Oxford History of Europe provides a concise, readable, and authorititive point of entry for the history of Europe from the Ancient Greeks to the present day in eleven volumes. In each chapter a leading expert offers focused and penetrating insights into the major themes and influences of the period. Lying between the two great 'peaks' of European history, the Reformation and the Enlightenment in the centuries before and after, the seventeenth century lacks a clear identity of its own. And yet, it is the very proliferation of major events, crises, and processes throughout Europe that has made this transitional age so difficult to label. This book fully explores the seventeenth century, highly significant for the future of Europe. In a set of chapters covering and contrasting the European experience across the full century and the full continent, the reader is offered a rich, lively, and provocative introduction to this exciting period.
It is an excellent collection, providing an admirably concise and always intelligent and thoughful synthesisIt will surelyas the publisher hopes 'challenge those ..... familiar with the period to think again ... and awaken the interest of those unfamiliar with it.' Christopher Storrs, European Hisorical Review, Vol 477.
