    This new history of Europe spans from the French Revolution to the World War I. It weaves together the political, economic, social and cultural developments of the period and examines themes such as the relationship between state, civil society and the citizen; the emergency of mass politics (including women's emancipation movements); the impact of economic growth on society, politics and culture; and the development of identities (including gender, class and nation). While discussing events within the great powers, this useful text also ties smaller countries experiences into the narrative, for a comprehensive and thorough overview of Europe in the 19th century.

  • Evropa 16. století je příkladem moderní historické práce, jejímž základem jsou fundované znalosti autora Mackenney Richarda. Mackenney Richard dokáže dané téma zpracovat čtivě a přístupně nejširší čtenářské obci. Málokteré století bylo tak bohaté na tolik dějinných zvratů jako právě století šestnácté, a tak kniha jistě zaujme jak historiky, tak čtenáře, jimž je historie oblíbeným koníčkem, i ty, kteří se chtějí seznámit s pouhým zajímavým výsekem z evropských dějin. Autor Richard Mackenney vystudoval v Cambridgi a nyní přednáší dějiny na universitě v Edingburghu.

  • In this text the author provides an account of the centuries during which Europe changed from being an abstract geographical expression into a new, culturally coherent, if politically divided, entity. It examines how the social, economic and cultural structures of Antiquity were replaced by their medieval equivalents and also seeks to define the European context, by looking at those external forces, such as the nomadic confederacies of Central Asia and the Islamic empire of the Arabs, which helped to shape it through conflict.
