New Release: The Early Modern Period

What is the Early Modern Period? What significance does it hold in the academic discipline of history and in the classroom, and what is its social significance? What methods are used to study it? These questions are at the heart of this volume by Hannes Ziegler. Written by a scholar from the younger generation, this volume offers an indispensable guide for both first-year students and advanced students in the fields of history, cultural studies, and the social sciences, presented through precise keywords and concise introductory texts. It includes a guide to understanding key technical terms, an overview of the history of the discipline, and a reference work on central research topics. The volume is supplemented by numerous bibliographic references to the key texts in the scholarly discourse of recent decades.
