• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

For over a century Spain controlled the greatest empire the world had ever seen, and its collapse provoked, both then as it does now, a range of analyses over which there has been little agreement. In the second edition of this successful text, Henry Kamen asks: was the Golden Age of Spain in the 16th century actually an illusion? By examining some of the key issues involved, Kamen offers a balanced discussion of this fundamental question.

Golden Age Spain:
- Offers a concise introduction to the major themes and debates
- Is now thoroughly revised and updated in the light of the latest research
- Contains new chapters which cover such topics as culture and religion
- Highlights key issues and questions at the start of each chapter
- Includes a helpful glossary and an expanded bibliography to aid further study.

Approachable and easy-to-follow, this text is essential reading for anyone with an interest in one of the most fascinating periods of Spanish history.
