Bonney, The Short Oxford History Of The Modern World - The European Dynastic States 1494-1660

Abstract

Richard Bonney (of Leicester) has written this volume as part of a series on the modern world, four of which deal with English history and others with general European history and world regional topics. The series is designed to provide a basic core of historical knowledge and to incorporate the research and thinking that has significantly altered recent historiography. Thus, while the title may seem rather old-fashioned, Bonney tries to provide authoritative guidance with sensitivity to the proliferating complexity of specialized studies.
