Reviews

Hale describes the end of "Christendom" and the beginning of a new understanding of the terms "Europe" and "European" during the period 1450-1620. He stresses the 16th and early 17th centuries, rather than 15th-century Italy, and is concerned not only with the "new age" of learning but with the characteristics of daily life among Europeans and the roots of contemporary Europe and its culture.
