Each chapter, written by a prominent historian caught up in the debates, is devoted to the varieties of interpretation relating to a specific theme or field considered integral to understanding the age, providing readers with a ‘behind-the-scenes’ look at how historians have worked, and still work, within these fields. At one level the emphasis is historiographical, with the essays engaged in a direct dialogue with the influential theories, methods, assumptions, and conclusions in each of the fields. At another level the contributions emphasise the historical dimensions of interpretation, providing readers with surveys of the component parts that make up the modern narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupported by extensive bibliographies, primary materials, and appendices with extracts from key secondary debates, \u003ci\u003eInterpreting Early Modern Europe \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a systematic exploration of how historians have shaped the study of the early modern past.
