Is it defined by geography? Or is it politics, or shared culture? In Europe, award-winning historian Roderick Beaton tells the story of Europe as never before - as the history of an idea, and a collective identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince its dramatic birth in ancient Greece, 'Europe' has been defined, and redefined, by its people. Through this powerful lens, and with the narrative drive and scope of a novelist, Beaton deftly surveys Europe's major historical developments- the rise and fall of Rome; the explosion of Christianity; the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment; the arrival of Europeans in the Americas; the violent upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and the uncertainties of the present. Throughout, original sources allow the voices of the past, from Tacitus to Thatcher, to speak for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrappling with the multilayered identities that have always come with being European, Europe places the Europe of today in a long arc of history stretching back more than 2,500 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRHD Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48838723272927,"sku":"9780241624500","price":75.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2185\/3151\/files\/9780241624500.jpg?v=1775870926","url":"https:\/\/lamplightbooks.co.nz\/products\/europe-a-new-history","provider":"Lamplight Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
