Synopsis
Central Europe has long been a contested space, where empires clashed and world wars began. But these disputed lands, stretching from present-day Germany and Switzerland to Poland and Ukraine, have always been more than just a battleground between West and East. Even as Central Europe's kingdoms warred with foreign invaders and one another, the region developed its own cohesive politics, society, and culture-a distinctive identity crucial to understanding the trials that confront Europe today. In The Middle Kingdoms, historian Martyn Rady offers the definitive history of Central Europe in all its precariousness, turbulence, and creativity. In the Middle Ages, the region was distinguished by its assemblies of noblemen, its self-governing cities, and its strong village communities. In the centuries that followed, Central Europeans launched the Reformation and Romanticism, championed the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, and gave the world the symphony, expressionist cinema, and absurdist literature. Drawing on a lifetime of research and scholarship, The Middle Kingdoms tells as never before the captivating story of two thousand years of Central Europe's history and its enduring significance., An essential new history of Central Europe that "deftly unravels the strands of a long and complex past" ( Wall Street Journal ) Central Europe has long been infamous as a region beset by war, a place where empires clashed and world wars began. In The Middle Kingdoms , Martyn Rady offers the definitive history of the region, demonstrating that Central Europe has always been more than merely the fault line between West and East. Even as Central European powers warred with their neighbors, the region developed its own cohesive identity and produced tremendous accomplishments in politics, society, and culture. Central Europeans launched the Reformation and Romanticism, developed the philosophy of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, and advanced some of the twentieth century's most important artistic movements. Drawing on a lifetime of research and scholarship, The Middle Kingdoms tells as never before the captivating story of two thousand years of Central Europe's history and its enduring significance in world affairs.
