"Highly regarded here and abroad for some thirty works of cultural history and criticism, master historian Jacques Barzun has now set down in one continuous narrative the sum of his discoveries and conclusions about the whole of Western culture since 1500.".

"In this account, Barzun describes what Western Man wrought from the Renaissance and Reformation down to the present in the double light of its own time and our pressing concerns. He introduces characters and incidents with his usual literary style and grace, bringing to the fore those that have been forgotten or obscured.

His compelling chapters - such as "Puritans as Democrats," "The Monarchs' Revolution," "The Artist Prophet and Jester" - show the recurrent role of great themes throughout the eras."--BOOK JACKET.
