Synopsis
From the ancient near east to contemporary times, Perspectives from the Past offers a rich variety of sources both familiar and fresh. The reader contains excerpts from classic texts by Plato, Aquinas, Machiavelli, Descartes, Marx, and Mill and includes substantive representation of women writers, such as Anna Comnena, Hildegard of Bingen, Madame Roland, Flora Tristan, Emmeline Pankurst, Vera Brittain, and Elizabeth Robbins.
Perspectives from the Past offers a wide selection of readings from all regions of Europe, including Venetian ambassadors' reports; excerpts from Mickiewic's Books of a Polish Nation and Its Pilgrimage; Czar Alexander II's Edict of Emancipation of 1861 freeing the serfs; the Constitution of the Black Hand, the Serbian nationalist group instrumental in the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand; and In Search of Splendor, Constance de la Mora's account of the Spanish Civil War.
Also included are non-European writers whose works have made an impact on Western thought, among them Ibn Khaldun, Ibn Battutah, Luiz Vaz de Camoes, Bernal Diaz del Castillo, and Mahatma Gandhi.
