Spain, 1474-1598

The rise of Spain from obscurity to the position of Europe's greatest power is centrally important in the history of Western Europe in the sixteenth century. Spain, 1474-1598 explores key themes including the unification of Spain and the domestic and foreign policies of each of the monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, Charles V and Philip II. This book also examines whether the sixteenth century was a 'golden century' in Spain culturally for its art and literature, as well as for its society and economy.Hunt, Jocelyn is the author of 'Spain, 1474-1598' with ISBN 9780415222662 and ISBN 0415222664.
