This excellent book reveals much about the things that have changed in Europe since 1789–and, just as importantly, the things that have remained constant. The eleven essays in this collection (written by some of the biggest names in the field of European history, such as Princetons Harold James, U.C. Berkeleys Martin Jay, and Richard Overy of Kings College, London) focus on various aspects of European society, from politics and economics to high culture and social structures, and analyze both the changes and the engines of those changes.
