Urban Politics in Early Modern Europe
ISBN: 9780415114790 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Cities were frequently the scenes of sudden tensions or bitter conflicts between ordinary citizens and the urban elite, and the threat of civic unrest often underlay the political dynamics of early modern cities.
With vivid... Urban Politics in Early Modern Europe is an important survey of the complex relationships between urban politics and regional and national po...
