	Early modern Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The early modern period is characterized by the rise to importance of science, cumulative and increasingly rapid technological progress, secularized civic politics and capitalist economics, all monitored by the nation state.
		Spanning the transition at the opening of the early modern period, the European Renaissance is being seen by historians now as much as the culmination of late Medieval civilization (especially north of the Alps) as an earlier generation saw in it a revolutionary rebirth of classical culture (especially in Central and Northern Italy).
		The expression "early modern" is often, and incorrectly, used as a substitute for the term Renaissance.

	Historical Roots of Early Modern Europe
		Early Modern Europe is the name given to an era of European history which began in 1648 following the end of the Thirty Years War and the Treaty of Westphalia.
		The process of modernization, involving the accumulation of a surplus, led to the creation of a class of merchants and craftsmen which constituted a middle class, i.e., a class in the middle between the aristocracy and the peasantry.
		The early modern period was a period of transition when the bureacracy was in its infancy and the collection of the king's taxes was often disrupted at the regional level.

	B. Early Modern Europe, 1479-1815. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		The early modern period in Europe can be said to begin around 1648.
		Eastern Europe saw a tightening of serfdom, rather than the rise of wage labor and the growth of commercial cities.
		For example, gold and silver from Mexico and Peru which began to flow into Europe in 1503 caused a continent-wide inflation between 1550 and 1565 (though the peak period of Spanish bullion imports was 1580–1620).

		Some time in the 15th or 16th century, depending on what part of Europe and what aspect of society one is considering, the medieval era came to an end.
		We call it Early Modern only because we don't like the old terms (Age of Absolutism, Age of the Baroque) and we can't think of anything better.
		Europe entered onto a world market, fueled by a fantastic supply of bullion from the New World, and the repercussions transformed European economics forever.

	Past & Present: The invention of leisure in early modern Europe
		In the last twenty years or so, social historians of Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have been carrying out a good deal of research on leisure and sport, concentrating on the period since 1850.(3) Their colleagues in sociology have moved in the same direction.
		The greatest danger facing historians of our topic is surely to assume continuity and to work with the modern concepts of leisure and sport, projecting them back on to the past without asking about the meanings which contemporaries gave to their activities.
		It was in England in the early nineteenth century that we first see the rise of the idea of a "sporting world" which included hunting, racing, shooting, angling, cricket, walking and boxing.

	H-Net Review: Michelle Wolfe on Widowhood in Medieval and Early Modern Europe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In Chabot's work on the conflicting claims and interests of the Florentine widow's birth family and her in-laws, the profound efforts by both families to control the widow are revealed as efforts to retain patrilineal control of the property and children attached to the widow.
		Despite the fact that this rhetoric undermined the authority of the remarried widower as a husband, householder, and representative of the larger patriarchal order, it was nonetheless deployed by lawyers, families and the courts when the widower's marital ambitions undermined the heirs and established property rights of his previous family.
		Although the volume is intended to span the medieval and early modern periods, the majority of contributed chapters deal with early modern Europe.

		But the romantic veneration of women seems to have survived the trauma of modernization well enough to suggest that its value is not just a matter of male chauvinism.

	Review of Women's Education in Early Modern Europe. A History, 1500-1800
		This book is successful in addressing such questions and stressing the various opportunities for education that early modern women had available to them.
		At first glance, Lougee's fascinating study of the frequency of death in early modern boarding schools seems to have little to do with an overall redefinition of education.
		This sounds a far cry from Whitehead's warning that "in assuming that in order to be considered educated a woman in early modern times necessarily had to have formal schooling, the historian risks being ahistorical" (xi) or Sharon Michalove's insistence that the equation of humanism with "real" education is a false one (47).

	H-Net Review: Roger B. Manning on Violence in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1800 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Brutal capital and corporal punishments had been employed at the beginning of the early modern period, but, generally speaking, were already in decline by the late sixteenth century.
		The decline of the use of capital punishment owed something to humane sensibilities, which predated the Enlightenment, and to the emergence of systems of penal servitude; however, it was probably due primarily to greater political stability and the diminished need for spectacular punishments.
		He also seems to be unaware of the complex nature of common use-rights and the absence of a modern doctrine of possessive individualism or of the distinctions between arable, pastoral, and sylvan economies and societies.
