Is it defined by geography? Or is it politics, or shared culture? In \u003ci\u003eEurope\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning historian Roderick Beaton tells the story of Europe as never before--as the history of an idea, and a collective identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Since its dramatic birth in ancient Greece, \"Europe\" has been defined, and redefined, by its people. Through this powerful lens, and with the narrative drive and scope of a novelist, Beaton deftly surveys Europe's major historical developments: the rise and fall of Rome; the explosion of Christianity; the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment; the arrival of Europeans in the Americas; the violent upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and the uncertainties of the present. Throughout, original sources allow the voices of the past, from Tacitus to Thatcher, to speak for themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Grappling with the multilayered identities that have always come with being European, \u003ci\u003eEurope\u003c\/i\u003e places the Europe of today in a long arc of history stretching back more than 2,500 years.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoderick Beaton\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor emeritus at King's College London.
