[426]-452) and index. 520 $a "This major survey of political life in late medieval Europe - the first for more than thirty years - provides an entirely new framework for understanding the developments that shaped this turbulent period. Rather than emphasising crisis, decline, disorder or the birth of the modern state, this account centres on the mixed results of political and governmental growth across the continent. The age of the Hundred Years War, schism and revolt was also a time of rapid growth in jurisdiction, taxation and representation, of spreading literacy and evolving political technique. This mixture of state formation and political convulsion lay at the heart of the 'making of polities'. Offering a full introduction to political events and processes from the fourteenth century to the sixteenth, this book combines a broad, comparative account with discussion of individual regions and states, including eastern and northern Europe alongside the more familiar west and south."--Publisher description. 505 0 $a Europe in 1300 : the political inheritance -- The fourteenth century -- The fifteenth century. 651 0 $a Europe $x Politics and government $y 476-1492. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a State, The $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Middle Ages. 650 17 $a Politieke geschiedenis. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Staatsvorming. $2 gtt 651 7 $a Europa (geografie) $2 gtt 650 07 $a Staat. $2 swd 650 07 $a Politische Kultur. $2 swd 650 07 $a Politik. $2 swd 651 7 $a Europa. $2 swd 830 0 $a Cambridge medieval textbooks. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0906/2009007358-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0906/2009007358-d.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0906/2009007358-t.html 941 $a 5 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044206.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180102031631.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824024457.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20110426010424.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20100622011414.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AF3D27BA7DC311DFBA81047D6AFF544E 994 $a 02 $b IONInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
