Book Synopsis The Golden Century by : Maurice Ashley
Book excerpt: Although 17th century Europe experienced continuous war and revolution, it was also a time when creativity flourished: Cervantes and Velásquez in Spain, Shakespeare and Milton in London, Rubens in Antwerp, Rembrandt in Amsterdam, and Molière in Paris. The vast changes in art, science and religion ultimately gave birth to modernity--and this all-encompassing history traces each landmark.
