Urban Achievement in Early Modern Europe

Focusing on the clustering of cultural achievements in early modern Europe, this comparative urban history examines Antwerp, Amsterdam, and London during their respective golden ages. Through the collaboration of Patrick O'Brien and eighteen historians, the work analyzes economic, architectural, artistic, publishing, and scientific developments in these maritime cities. The study provides valuable insights into the interplay of geography and culture, making it a significant resource for scholars and students interested in economic, social, and cultural history.
