Is it defined by geography? Or is it politics, or shared culture? In \u003ci\u003eEurope\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning historian Roderick Beaton tells the story of Europe as never before--as the history of an idea, and a collective identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Since its dramatic birth in ancient Greece, \"Europe\" has been defined, and redefined, by its people. Through this powerful lens, and with the narrative drive and scope of a novelist, Beaton deftly surveys Europe's major historical developments: the rise and fall of Rome; the explosion of Christianity; the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment; the arrival of Europeans in the Americas; the violent upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and the uncertainties of the present. Throughout, original sources allow the voices of the past, from Tacitus to Thatcher, to speak for themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Grappling with the multilayered identities that have always come with being European, \u003ci\u003eEurope\u003c\/i\u003e places the Europe of today in a long arc of history stretching back more than 2,500 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roderick Beaton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.30w x 1.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541603806","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45606450659465,"sku":"9781541603806","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f4b9bddb-c866-41dd-b9e2-d08fbe13a369.jpg?v=1776752038","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/europe-a-new-history-9781541603806","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
