Golden, Ed., The Social Dimension Of Western Civilization

Abstract

Richard Golden's two volumes offer a rich collection of selections from 49 secondary-source readings in the social history of Western Civilization. The readings are organized chronologically in seven parts: "Mesopotamia, Israel, and Egypt" ( 4 articles); "Classical Greece and Rome" (6 articles); "The Middle Ages" (7 articles); "Early Modem Europe" (7 articles); "The Old Regime" (8 articles); "The Nineteenth Century" (9 articles), and "The Twentieth Century" (8 articles). Although the volumes slightly overlap chronologically, there is no duplication of articles.
