Product Description

Review

"Geoffrey Parker′s book is characteristically lucid, lively and vigorous. In its updated form it makes the best introduction to the period I know."
––Peter Burke FBA, Professor of Cultural History, University of Cambridge

"This is no ordinary textbook, but one that can be read and enjoyed again and again. Thanks to the breadth of the author′s knowledge of the primary and secondary material, even scholars of the period will continually find new nuggets of information and fresh insights to set them thinking."
––Laurence Brockliss, Magdalen College, Oxford

"This textbook is witty, lively and provocative. Unlike so many anglophone historians, Professor Parker thinks Moscow and Mecklenburg are as interesting as Madrid or Marseilles: this is a genuinely European history of Europe."
––Robert Frost, King′s College, London

"The 2001 version of Europe in Crisis is much more than the 1979 [edition] with a few additions or amendments: the text has been revised thoroughly and comprehensively, many passages in the 2001 bear little resemblance to their predecessors, and the presentation and style of the book are emphatically ′new millennium′ rather than ′1970s′... Students and other reders who came to the period 1598–1648 through Europe in Crisis will find the new edition equally instructive, enjoyable, enlightening and essential; it thoroughly deserves the appellation of ′Modern Classic′ and will long remain a standard text." (Reviews in History)

"The new edition [is] equally instructive, enjoyable, enlightening and essential; it thoroughly deserves the appellation of ′modern classic′ and will long remain a standard text"
––David J Sturdy (Reviews in History, Sept 2002)

Laurence Brockliss, Magdalen College, Oxford

"This is no ordinary textbook, but one that can be read and enjoyed again and again. Thanks to the breadth of the author's knowledge of the primary and secondary material, even scholars of the period will continually find new nuggets of information and fresh insights to set them thinking." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

First Sentence
In 1643, as the English Civil War raged, a preacher informed the House of Commons in London that 'these are days of shaking...and this shaking is universal: the Palatinate, Bohemia, Germany, Catalonia, Portugal, Ireland, England'. Read the first page
