Synopsis

Europe 1715-1919 explores the tumultuous period in European history between the Age of Enlightenment and World War I. By integrating political, social, economic, and cultural history, Shirley Elson Roessler and Reny Miklos provide an entertaining and comprehensive account of the emergence of modern Europe. With clear and eloquent prose, the book explains the ideas of the Enlightenment and their effect on the social fabric of Europe, the watershed of the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon, the advances of the Industrial Revolution, and the centrifugal forces of nationalism that led, ultimately, to the disaster of World War I. Eminently readable, Europe 1715-1919 will appeal to students, scholars, and all interested in the history of modern Europe.

About this title

Review:

Abreast of recent research yet admirably readable, this book is now the best survey of modern European history for both students and general readers. A particular strength is the treatment of the French Revolution and an added bonus is the brief and select set of documents appended to the text.--Frederick A. de Luna, University of Oregon

If one charged two historians to produce a concise and lucid survey of general European history from the Treaty of Utrecht to the Treaty of Versailles, it would be hard to imagine a better book than this. Canadian scholars Roessler and Miklos have produced a text with a clear sense of what will engage students. This text may be used by itself or can serve as a handbook to provide continuity to a course using additional documents. Highly recommended.--CHOICE

The quality of their analysis is thorough...Roessler and Miklos work is well-written and historically correct...superbly presented.--H-Diplo

The authors provide a comprehensive account of the emergence of modern Europe.--The Social Studies
