Book Description
Excerpt from The Beginnings of the Modern World (A. D. 1500-1550): Including the Self-Narratives of Luther, Founder of the Modern Protestantism; Henry the Eighth, the Most Married of Kings; Thomas Platter, a Simple Swiss Peasant; Charles the Fifth, the Chief Sovereign of the Age When Luther was first summoned as a heretic before Charles, the youthful Emperor, unawake as yet to the stu pendons consequences of what seemed a common event, granted the rebellious monk a safe-conduct, assured him he should be allowed to leave the interview in safety. Many rulers would have broken such a promise; heretics had been thus entrapped before. But Charles, though urged to this course by many advisers, persisted in holding to his promise - and then lamented all the rest of his life that he had not broken the promise and executed Luther at once. Ill indeed fared the ancient Church among such half hearted defenders, as against such resolute assailants. The chief historical fact of this age, outside of the deeds of Luther and King Henry VIII, is that in the year 1527 Rome itself was attacked by a German army, nominally Catholic and temporarily approved of by the Emperor Charles. Not only was the ancient city stormed, but it was sacked. Plunder, massacre and torture ran riot through its helpless streets; and the Pope himself was besieged in his strong castle of Saint Angelo by the barbaric soldiery, eager to drag him forth and hang him.

Book Description
The Early Modern World, 1450-1750: Seeds of Modernity takes a distinctive approach to global history and enables a holistic view of the world during this period,without prioritizing any one nation or region. It guides students towards an understanding of how different empires, nations, communities and individuals constructed, contested and were touched by major trends and events. Its thematic structure covers politics, technology, economics, the environment and intellectual and religious worldviews. In order to connect global trends and events to human experiences, each chapter is underpinned by a social and cultural history focus, enabling the reader to gain an understanding of the lived human experience and make sense of various perspectives and worldviews. The 'Legacy' feature also discusses connections between early modern history and the contemporary world, looking at how the past is contested or memorialized today. The result is a textbook that helps the 21st-century student gain a rich and nuanced understanding of the global history of the early modern period.
