Synopsis

The period between 1830 and 1880 was one of immense activity, radical political change, and striking economic and social growth in Europe. The major themes of the struggles between individuals, parties and classes within the state, and between the states themselves are explored within the context of a study of the administration, organisation and growth of European society.

The whole book has been fully revised and updated, particularly the section on German history. Professor Hearder has also given greater consideration to many important issues, such as, popular movements of protest and insurrection, life-styles, and the role of women.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The period between 1830 and 1880 was one of immense activity, radical political change and startling economic and social growth in Europe. Professor Hearder presents it in all its energy and diversity in his broad-ranging and analytical survey. He explores the traditional themes of the struggles for power between individuals, parties and classes within the state, and between the nations of Europe as a whole; but these issues are discussed within the wider context of a study of the administration, organisation and growth of European society.
