Synopsis

The Development of Modern Europe: An Introduction to the Study of Current History is a historical book written by James Harvey Robinson and published in 1907. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the political, economic, social, and cultural developments that shaped modern Europe from the Renaissance to the early 20th century. Robinson's book is divided into three main parts. The first part covers the Renaissance and Reformation, the rise of absolute monarchy, and the Enlightenment. The second part discusses the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and the Industrial Revolution. The third part focuses on the political and social changes that occurred in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the rise of nationalism, imperialism, and socialism. Throughout the book, Robinson emphasizes the interconnectedness of European history and the importance of understanding the broader context in which individual events occurred. He also highlights the role of key figures such as Martin Luther, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Karl Marx in shaping the course of European history. Overall, The Development of Modern Europe is a seminal work in the field of European history and remains a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in the political, economic, and social transformations that have shaped modern Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
