A History of the Low Countries Zusammenfassung

A History of the Low Countries Paul Arblaster

An indispensable introductory textbook that provides students with a concise overview of the whole sweep of the history of the Low Countries, from Roman frontier provinces through to the establishment of the three constitutional monarchies of the present day.

This is an ideal core text for dedicated modules on History of the Low Countries, History of Luxembourg, Dutch History or Belgian History, or a supplementary text for broader modules on European History, which may be offered at all levels of an undergraduate History or European Studies degree. In addition it is a crucial resource for students who may be studying the history of the Benelux region for the first time as part of a taught postgraduate degree in European History, European Studies or Dutch Studies.

A History of the Low Countries Bewertungen

Praise for the first edition: 'An excellent book. It is fluently written and covers not only political, social and economic developments but touches on the most important cultural aspects as well.' - Ulrich Tiedau, University College London, UK 'Arblaster's writing is fluent and enjoyable ... For the available space and the ambitious scale, Arblaster has pulled off a hat-trick. My sole regret is that, given the sharpness of his observatory powers, he did not write more ... This will be a valuable addition to reading lists for students and worthy of recommendation to those general readers who wish to learn more about the rich heritage of the Low Countries and its impact on modern Benelux' -Peter Illing, Christ's College, Cambridge University Praise for the second edition: 'Arblaster does excellent work in weaving together a single history of a number of modern states, namely the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Despite their complex relationship, historically they have been one region politically, economically, and religiously. This history is careful to include pertinent facts and covers a variety of groups and individuals who have responded to challenges of diversity, change, and identity.' - John Roney, Sacred Heart University, USA.
