Urban Achievement in Early Modern Europe: Golden Ages in Antwerp, Amsterdam and LondonPatrick O'Brien Cambridge University Press, 12.04.2001 - 361 Seiten This innovative work in comparative urban history explores why outstanding achievements in material and intellectual culture in early modern Europe tended to cluster in certain maritime cities. Patrick O'Brien, his co-editors and eighteen distinguished historians from Belgium, the Netherlands, Britain, and North America, have collaborated to compare economic, architectural, artistic, publishing and scientific achievements in three European cities during their golden ages: Antwerp (c. 1492 1585), Amsterdam (c. 1585 1659) and London (c. 1660 1730). This study offers fascinating insights to scholars and students of economic, social and cultural history. |
