It was in fact one of the most spectacularly creative episodes in the history of the world. In this book, Jonathan Israel gives the definitive account of the emergence of the United Provinces as a great power, and explains its subsequent decline in the eighteenth century. He places the thought, politics, religion, and social developments of the Golden Age in their broad context, and examines the changing relationship between the northern Netherlands and the south, which was to develop into modern Belgium. One of the principal aims of the book is to provide a new type of integrated history which draws the different dimensions of the discipline firmly together in strictly non-technical language. The result is a comprehensive and lucid account as useful to the reader primarily interested in artistic and cultural history as to the student who needs a survey of the Republic's institutions, class structure, and economic development. At the same time it will provide an invaluable aid to scholars interested in new research and new interpretations. 000347117 651_0 $$aNetherlands$$xHistory$$yHouse of Habsburg, 1477-1556. 000347117 651_0 $$aNetherlands$$xHistory$$yWars of Independence, 1556-1648. 000347117 651_0 $$aNetherlands$$xHistory$$y1648-1795. 000347117 651_0 $$aNetherlands$$xHistory$$yBatavian Republic, 1795-1806. 000347117 85200 $$bgen$$hDH179$$i.I87$$i1995 000347117 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0604/97223086-d.html 000347117 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:347117$$pGLOBAL_SET 000347117 980__ $$aBIB 000347117 980__ $$aBOOK
