[Lauren Albert · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid history though one heavily focused on England and France. The opening and closing chapters were more international while still covering the two countries in pages and other countries in paragraphs.

Excellent scholarship and book feels good to hold.

This volume is a fairly comprehensive overview of European political, religious, and secular growth during the 1700's. It focuses mainly on the big three: England, France, and Spain, but does delve into the smaller countries as well. It ends with the revolutions in America and France (mainly America's impact on England during the revolution). All in all, it's a decent read for anyone interested in the progress made during that century in Europe.

由于强烈的受欧洲大革命的吸引，这本“革命前”的一册看得就很快，也没留下啥印象。不过启蒙运动和最后一章法国大革命前的描写还是很不错。
