Summary

This volume offers an introduction to a period characterized by diversity and vitality alongside war, plague, revolution and famine. The history of Europe between 1648 and 1688, often associated with the Age of the Baroque, was in fact disturbed by more cross-currents than almost any other period.

Europe Unfolding: 1648-1688 by John Stoye (University of Oxford)

The revised edition of this classic text covers both the turbulence of war which raged throughout this period, and explores how, alongside such turbulence, it was possible for some countries to both flourish and produce spectacular advances in art, science and thinking.
