Product Description
The 18th century is a century of profound contrasts. It is the moment of the estate society, of the absolute predominance of the power of the crowns, of administrative centralization and of social immobility. It is the Age of Enlightenment, where critical thinking and scientific progress are building a rational order that pursues social justice.
David Ogg, a prestigious historian from the University of Oxford, recounts with a nimble pen both the political, economic and diplomatic conflicts that spanned the 18th century, as well as the great cultural and scientific milestones that the Enlightenment bequeathed us."
First published in 1965, this is 1975 edition, heavy tanning to the page block. A standard work on pre French revolution Europe.
