Encyclopedia of Early Modern History, Volume 8: (Lauda - Migratory Labor)

By Andrew Colin Gow

The Encyclopedia of Early Modern History offers four hundred years of history in one work. 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. That does not mean, however, that the view on the rest of the world is blocked. On the contrary: the multifaceted interrelatedness of European and other cultures is scrutinized extensively.

The Encyclopedia of Early Modern History addresses major historical questions:
- which ideas, inventions, and events changed people's lives?
- in which ways did living conditions change?
- how do political, social, and economic developments interlock?
- which major cultural currents have begun to become apparent?
- how did historical interpretation of certain phenomena change?

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.
