Product Description
Review
'Undoubtedly this book lives up to the high quality of presentation and layout of the others in the series.' - A. McEwan, History Teaching Review
Product Description
The rise of Spain from obscurity to the position of one of Europe's greatest powers is centrally important in the history of Western Europe in the sixteenth century. Spain 1474–1598 explores key themes including the unification of Spain and the domestic and foreign policies of each of the monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, Charles V and Philip II. This book also examines whether the sixteenth century was a 'golden century' for Spain culturally with its art and literature, as well as its society and economy.

Not bad, but limited.
21 Aug 2002
Format:Paperback
This seems to be a review for a high school or college History course, but could be read by anyone interested in the subject. Each chapter is divided into three parts: narrative, analysis and (study) questions. The first two parts are excellent: informative and interestingly composed. The study questions are abhorrent. No doubt they're designed to make students think more deeply about the subject, but they obscure it and render it more intimidating. But you're safe if you don't read them. Also there are some excellent maps, particularly of Spanish possessions in the Netherlands. And that chapter is very well explained.
