Bibliography.
"A first-rate narrative account of a fascinating period in European
history. The inclusion of the British Isles is especially welcome
as is the due weight devoted to eastern Europe. Sturdy is alive to
the varieties and ambiguities of European history in this period,
and is not seduced by easy talk of the development of the modern
state or simplistic assessments of absolutism." Jeremy Black,
University of Exeter
"Dr Sturdy has written an excellent introduction to
seventeenth-century Europe for the student approaching the subject
for the first time. He supplies in a lucid description the factual
evidence essential to the formulation of thematic or analytical
arguments about the period." Lionel K. J. Glassey, University of
Glasgow
"Sturdy's book is organized around geographical regions
(including the British Isles) with a break at 1660 to consider some
themes... a comprehansive and factually accurate a narrative
[which] is a considerable achievement. Sturdy is to be commended
for producing a sound textbook, which must have been the product of
much labour." Graham Derby, King Edward VI School,
Southampton
