内容説明
This history of a formative period of Europe's past provides both a concise review of the main developments, in the light of contemporary academic scholarship, and an interpretation that hinges on the gradual erosion of the ancien regime, "the world we have lost", and the generation of forces destined to transform it into the world we live in. "Europe 1600-1800" explores the unease developing from the growing differential between the labouring poor and the ruling elites of gentleman landlords, clergymen, state servants, lawyers and those in the commercial and financial sectors. In 1789, the former still lived in self-sustaining communities but the latter's mental horizons were changing dramatically and they only held on to tradition to maintain the social hierachy that preserved their control. But rational reform cannot work within traditional structures of authority and privilege. The ancien regime could not modernise itself; it took the French Revolution to do that.
目次
Europe in 1600 / The final breakdown of the old order / The rise of the modern state / International violence / Europe in the eighteenth century / The twilight of the old regime.

内容説明
Anthony F. Upton's new history of the period leading up to the French Revolution provides both a coherent survey of the main developments and a compelling interpretation of which forces ultimately undercut the European monarchies. Europe 1600-1789 explores the tensions that developed as the laboring poor and the ruling elite remained attached to traditional, self-sustaining communities, while the commercial and financial sectors, pursuing different interests, only supported traditions when it worked to their own benefit. As their interests became increasingly distinct, their conflict with traditional structures of authority became irreconcilable.
