This book is a unique account of the socio-political evolution of early modern Europe and the rise of the nation-state as the dominant form of government. From Scotland and Spain to Russia and the Ottoman Empire, Professor Kiernan examines the social, economic and religious conflicts which contributed to the evolution from medieval to modern societies and replaced feudalism with an absolutist order.
