Bücher von J. H. (University of Oxford) Elliott

The impact of Europe on the newly-discovered world of America has long been the subject of historical fascination, yet the impact of that discovery for the conquering powers has received less attention. J. H. Elliott's pioneering 1992 book shows how the encounter with the new world affected Europe intellectually, economically, and politically.

A comparative portrait of Richelieu and Olivares, as personalities and as statesmen, drawn through study of their policies and their mutual struggle. This book also offers insights into 17th-century Europe and the nature of power and statesmanship.
