Heavenly City of the Eighteenth-century Philosophers

Becker, Carl L.
1932

These essays disclose the fallacy of believing that the eighteenth century was essentially modern in its temper. The author demonstrates that the period commonly described as the Ages of Reason was, in fact, very far from that; that Voltaire, Hume, Diderot and Locke were living in a medieval world, and that the philosophers “demolished the Heavenly City of St. Augustine only to rebuild it with more up-to-date materials.

Oxford Illustrated History of Modern Europe

Blanning, T.C.W., ed.
1996

Modern Europeans, argues T. C. W. Blanning, are characterized by the conviction that the ground is moving beneath their feet. Among other things, it has given them a strong sense of dynamism: the world is changing, it can be changed, and so it should be changed. Indeed, in the last two centuries, modern Europeans have transformed not only their continent but the world.
This lavishly illustrated history of Europe from the late eighteenth century to the present day offers a fascinating guide to the momentous events, achievements, and personalities that have stamped their mark on the continent. Written by an international team of leading scholars, The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern Europe is at once authoritative, stimulating, and accessible, presenting both change and continuity, revolution and stability–not only in politics but also in the economic, social, cultural, and military realms.
Insightful, provocative, and intellectually rewarding, this book offers an unparalleled, informed perspective on the history of the continent. The only fully illustrated general history of modern Europe available–more than 240 illustrations, including many in full color, complement the text throughout–The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern Europe will give every reader a better understanding of the world in which we live, how it came to be what it is, and where it may be going next.

The Vertigo Years: Change and Culture in the West, 1900-1914

Blom, Philipp
2008

Europe, early in the 20th century: a world adrift, a pulsating era of creativity and contradictions. The hot topics of the day — terrorism and globalization, immigration, consumerism, the lack of moral values, and rivaling superpowers — could make one forget that it is a century ago that this era vanished into the trenches of the Somme and Vimy Ridge.
Or did it? The closer one looks, the more this world seems like ours, the more one sees that the questions and realities shaping our lives and thoughts were formulated and laid down at the beginning of the 20th century: feminism, democratization, mass communication, commercial branding, consumerism, state-sponsored genocide, and psychoanalysis were all concepts birthed in this period. This was a time radically unlike the Victorian era that preceded it, a time in which all the old certainties broke down. Philipp Blom succeeds in bringing to life the immediacy of the lives and issues of this fascinating, flawed pre-war period.
Through a series of historical vignettes, each chapter focusing on one particularly telling event for every year from 1900 to 1914, The Vertigo Years discovers the great people, powers, and ideas of Europe after 1900. The approach is eclectic, brilliantly combining the novelist’s eye with the craft of the historian. It opens up this era in all its contradictions and similarities to our own.

Europe And The French Imperium 1799-1814

Bruun, Geoffrey
1938

Volume in the “Rise of Modern Europe” series.
“This volume was designed to primarily give the reader and student a reliable survey of European history written by experts in various branches of that vast subject. In consonance with the current broad conception of the scope of history, they attempt to go beyond a merely political military narrative, and to lay stress upon social economic, religious, scientific and artistic developments.”

Secularization of the European Mind in the Nineteenth Century

Chadwick, Owen
1975

“The declining hold of the Church and its doctrines on European society represents a major shift in Western life and thought. Owen Chadwick’s acclaimed lectures on the secularization of the European mind trace this movement in the 19th century, identifying and exploring both the social and the intellectual aspects of this momentous change. The rise of technology, the growth of big cities and a cheap press take their place alongside evolutionary science and Marxism in this fascinating analysis of the erosion of the Church’s power.” – book cover.

Napoleon And The Hundred Days

Coote, Stephen
2005

Vienna, 1815: As the political leaders of Europe assemble to determine the fate of the continent after defeating Napoleon, the alarming news arrives that Napoleon has escaped captivity. Bonaparte had returned, and it would be just one hundred days before he met his enemies in a final, epic battle. In Napoleon and the Hundred Days, Stephen Coote vividly re-creates the rise and fall of Bonaparte’s empire, and brings to life the characters who shaped it. With the eye of an historian and the dramatic style of a novelist, Coote describes how the path to war became inevitable and how, at the Battle of Waterloo, the fatigued but ever arrogant Napoleon met his match. This is a dazzling portrait of the legendary emperor, whose genius, courage, and tenacity won–and lost–him a vast empire.

First Industrial Revolution

Deane, Phyllis
1965

“This book identifies the strategic changes in economic organisation, industrial structure and technological progress associated with the industrial revolution, which took place in Britain over the century 1750-1850 and which marked a watershed in world economic development … It is sufficiently nontechnical to be intelligible to a general reader interested in putting problems of economic development into historical perspective.” – Publisher.

Policing of Families

Donzelot , Jacques
1979

“The title of the book refers to policing in a special sense, meaning all those forces brought to bear on the family to keep it in line and make it serve society’s values. Donzelot’s study begins in the eighteenth century (just before Aries monumental ‘Centuries Of Childhood: A Social History of the Family’ leaves off) and dramatizes all the ensuing changes in the French family, from a rigid patriarchal structure under the ancien régime to an institution increasingly dominated by mothers, philanthropic agencies, and psychoanalysis”. – Book jacket.

The Old European Order, 1660-1800

Doyle, William
1978

“This survey of European history covers a period of one and a half centuries which witnessed the beginnings of the contemporary world. In his account of the economic, social, intellectual and governmental structure and development
of pre-revolutionary Europe, the author stresses throughout the importance of economic and social trends, and places emphasis on the analysis of the structure of society as well as the narration of events. He shows how the contradictions of the old order contributed to a crisis which affected several of the major states in the late eighteenth century, when the growth of governmental power led to a series of clashes between governments and governing classes.” – Book Cover.

The Enlightenment: An Interpretation – Best Books for European History

Volume 2

Gay, Peter
1977

Vol 1. “The Rise of Modern Paganism”; Vol 2: “The Science of Freedom”.
“The eighteenth century Enlightenment marks the beginning of the modern age when the scientific method and belief in reason and progress came to hold sway over the Western world. In the twentieth century, however, the Enlightenment has often been judged harshly for its apparently simplistic optimism. Here a master historian goes back to the sources to give us both a more sophisticated and intriguing view of the philosophes, their world and their ideas.” – Publisher.
