Experts from all over the world have joined in a presentation of the scholarship on the great era between the mid-fifteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. The perspective is European.

On the contrary: the multifaceted interrelatedness of European and other cultures is scrutinized extensively.<br><br>The <i>Encyclopedia of Early Modern History</i> addresses major historical questions: <br> - which ideas, inventions, and events changed people's lives?<br> - in which ways did living conditions change?<br> - how do political, social, and economic developments interlock?<br> - which major cultural currents have begun to become apparent?<br> - how did historical interpretation of certain phenomena change?<br><br>The individual articles are connected to one another as in a web of red threads. The reader who follows the threads will keep coming upon new and unexpected contexts and links.
