内容説明
Wim Blockmans investigates the exercise of power in European society through detailed analysis of three broad fields: politics, economics, and culture. The more these three areas overlap, he argues, the more absolute is the power. Thus, the movement of populations, the relationship of religions to secular powers, the arts of cities, courts, and villages all fall under his scrutiny. For most of this millennium visual representations have been rulers' and governments' key tools of persuasion. Here, more than 350 illustrations - paintings, engravings, reliquaries, frescoes, illuminated manuscripts, tapestries, genealogical charts, maps, coins, even chess pieces - brilliantly illuminate Blockmans's thesis. Works by artists as diverse as Giorgio Vasari, Rembrandt, Albrecht Durer, El Greco, Edvard Munch, and Paul Gauguin depicting subjects as varied as religious allegories, portraits of the Medici family, with trials in sixteenth-century Germany, religious extremism in Northern Ireland, Stalinist architecture, naval battles, and more converge to present a complete picture of European power structures and struggles over the last thousand years.

内容説明
The balance of power in Europe at the end of the twentieth century results from a very long process of development. A History of Power in Europe is a masterly study of the interaction of the various configurations of power and their significance over the past millennium. In an extraordinarily fascinating account Wim Blockmans analyses the three domains in which power is exercised - politics the economy and culture - as well as the expansion in size and effectiveness of the structures of power - peoples markets and states - offering the reader a refreshingly new view on a thousand years of European history. Power has many aspects but usually attempts to conceal itself behind a gloss of glorious images and exalted motives which aims at arousing an illusion of righteousness and popularity. For that reason the illustrative material in this book forms an integral element of the argument: it shows the way in which those wielding power presented themselves to the largely unlettered masses in the hope of seducing them into giving their support.
More than 350 reproductions - of paintings prints miniatures tapestries murals family trees maps coins even chessmen - brilliantly illustrate a thousand years of European history.
