The revised and updated edition of a seminal text, Europe in the Sixteenth Century weaves the distinct histories of various European states into a vivid and complex tapestry. Focusing on similarities of experience across borders, including the centralization of town life and development of market economics, the authors reexamine familiar subjects of the era-from religious upheaval to imperial conflict to artistic revolutions-creating a dynamic, unified narrative of change. This third edition features a new introduction by Magda Teter, tracing the influence of H. G. Koenigsberger, George L. Mosse, and G. Q. Bowler's work on the historiography of Europe well into the twenty-first century.
H. G. Koenigsberger (1918-2014) was a professor of history at King's College London and the author of numerous books. George L. Mosse (1918-99) was a legendary scholar, teacher, and mentor. A refugee from Nazi Germany, in 1955 he joined the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he was both influential and popular. Mosse was an early leader in the study of modern European cultural and intellectual history, the study of fascism, and the history of sexuality and masculinity. Over his career, he authored more than two dozen books. G. Q. Bowler is a senior fellow at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy and was trained by H. G. Koenigsberger. Magda Teter is a professor of history and the Shvidler Chair of Judaic Studies at Fordham University.
