Scholars refer to this period as 'early modern' and this expression is often associated with 'the rise of the modern west'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pace of change gained momentum during this period undermining the roots of the feudal society. The economic transformation pushed Europe towards capitalism. The forces of change could be located in the diverse spheres of human activities although the scale of change varied from one region to another. The transformation of local economies into the larger European market economy, the geographical discoveries and the new sea routes resulted in the creation of colonial empires based on new forms of exploitation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rise of nation-states under absolute rulers replaced the decentralized feudal structure. Discoveries in arts and sciences and the religious movements opened up new mental horizons which gave birth to new social attitudes, cultural patterns and scientific outlook. At the same time, the negative trends during this period such as the rise of slave trade, new forms of exploitation and a wild craze for witch-hunting are also included in the discussion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book adopts an interpretive approach and tries to explain what led to the dislocation of centuries-old social order and the emergence of new  social classes. This volume is required reading for students of Modern European history and culture.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife of Tables 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 The Face of Europe in the Late-Fifteenth Century  27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 The Renaissance and Society 74\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Explorations, Discovery and Colonial Empires 140\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 The Reformation 198\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 The Rise of Absolutist States 269\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 European Economy in the Sixteenth Century 336\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Crisis of the Seventeenth Century 411\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 The Rise of Modern Science 475\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 The English Revolution, Social Change and Constitutional Developments 513\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Ideas and Practice of Mercantilism 565\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11 Overseas Expansion and the Colonial Rivalry between Britain and France 597\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 Enlightenment and Enlightened Despotism 630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 Economy and Society in the Eighteenth Century 690\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 Transition from Feudalism to Capitalism –\u003cbr\u003e A Debate 745\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex 771\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Manohar Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52640519356696,"sku":"9788173048432","price":65.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/europe-in-transition-from-feudalism-to-industrialization-hardback-9788173048432","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
