Description

Through a wide variety of key documents - most of which appear in English for the first time here - this sourcebook reveals the origins, significance, and consequences of the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), the first great, and catastrophic, pan-European conflict. Headnotes introduce each selection, and a general Introduction provides both a brief history of the War and a discussion of its causes. Maps and a chronology are included, as are an index, a select bibliography, and several examples of 17th-century work.

Reviews

"This book is comprehensive in its treatment of the political, social and cultural issues surrounding the Reformation and the development of European states... It will provide an excellent conclusion to the late medieval developments covered in the first half of the Western Civilisation sequence of courses; it will also provide an excellent baseline for students studying the second half." -- Nancy McLoughlin, Willamette University
