Europe in the decades before the First World War
Eric Hobsbawm surveys European life from the high point of the Industrial Revolution through the outbreak of the First World War. Economics and politics sit alongside art, science, and culture, giving the book a broad historical scope across the period 1875–1914. Its subject is an era whose transformations helped shape the twentieth century, approached through several dimensions of public and cultural life rather than through a single political narrative.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers seeking a broad account of European history from 1875 to 1914
- Those interested in the connections between economics, politics, science, art, and culture
- Readers exploring the historical background to the twentieth century
