Although 17th century Europe experienced continuous war and revolution, it was also a time when creativity flourished: Cervantes and Velásquez in Spain, Shakespeare and Milton in London, Rubens in Antwerp, Rembrandt in Amsterdam, and Molière in Paris. The vast changes in art, science and religion ultimately gave birth to modernity--and this all-encompassing history traces each landmark.

"In this book, Professor Begin and his fellow authors provide an account of the main aspects of seventeenth century Europe - from economy and society to politics, war, and intellectual life. Finally, the book dwells on the ways in which contact with a wider world beyond Europe impinged on the consciousness of Europeans in this 'age of curiosity'. This account, written by leading specialists in the field, will challenge those who are familiar with the period to think again about established views, and awaken the interest of those unfamiliar with it."--BOOK JACKET.

He concentrates especially on identifying and linking changes in economic, social, and political life, as well as discussing the changes in religious attitudes and the nature of popular beliefs.
