Description:"Professor Nussbaum has made a substantial contribution to American historiography embodying besides his own thoughtful analyses set forward in the most recent literature on his subject."- The American Historical Review"The author believes that the significance of the period should be sought in the progress of natural science, the vigor of baroque art, the consolidation of political power, the evolution and of the capitalist economy, and (not least) the search for God. He discards the older interpretation that over-emphasized the ascendancy of France and the absolutism of Louis XIV as th cardinal facts in this complex quarter of a century."It is not necessary to accept the author's definition of a term in order to enjoy and profit by his detailed and discriminating discussion of the age. Although Professor Nussbaum was trained as an economic historian and his previous writings deal primarily with commercial and political developments, he has sought here to produce a broad and catholic synthesis, and he succeeded. By presenting the intellectual and cultural factors first he establishes a mood that colors the entire picture and clarifies the political, economic and social context.This is a valuable volume for all serious students of Modern European history."- Geoffrey Bruun ContentsI.
