Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bestselling, seminal book - a general survey of Europe in the era of `Rennaisance and Reformation' - was originally published in Denys Hay's famous Series, `A General History of Europe'. It looks at sixteenth-century Europe as a complex but interconnected whole, rather than as a mosaic of separate states. The authors explore its different aspects through the various political structures of the age - empires, monarchies, city-republics - and how they functioned and related to one another. A strength of the book remains the space it devotes to the growing importance of town-life in the sixteenth century, and to the economic background of political change.

Download or read book A General History of Europe Vol 1 written by James Harvey Robinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General History of Europe, Vol. 1: Europe Before the Eighteenth Century; Brief Course It is obvious that in order to make room for all this new and essential material it has been impossible to include all the events which have usually been found in a general history. The task of selection is a difficult one. It is fair to ask the reader who is disturbed by the omission of some familiar name or topic to con sider what portion of the present narrative he would discard in favor of the incident he has in mind. In the matter of perspective it will be noted that less than half of the history is devoted to the story of the Western world down to'the Sixteenth century. Nearly a quarter of the space is assigned to the last fifty years. This corresponds to a growing demand that we should study the past in the interest of the present. The illustrations have been chosen with especial care, and the legends furnish much information which could not have been added to the text without complicating the narrative. The questions at the ends of the chapters will serve as a review and assist the student in summarizing his knowledge. Questions which cannot be answered from the text have sometimes been added in the hope of stimulating the student to carry on a little investigation of his own and to make some application of what he has learned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General History of Europe (350-1900) The authors of this General History of Europe venture to hope that their book will explain itself. The only matter concerning which they feel obliged to state their position in a prefatory word is the important point of the correlation of text-book and literature. They firmly believe that the use of any single and unaided text-a practice still common in our schools-is a misfortune and a calamity, and for that reason they desire to put themselves on record in the most definite terms against that ancient abuse. Their text consequently is conceived by them as a mere framework which the literature accompanying each chapter is intended to clothe and elaborate. This literature the authors have carefully selected with the needs of the beginner in their minds; they do not wish to weary and confuse him with a great mass of material; they desire merely to conduct him a stage or two upon the path of historical studies, but they are eager that that path should be the right path. The teacher is therefore very earnestly, enjoined to encourage in the pupil wide reading, and the habit of comparison and criticism.
