| Summary |
"Europe in the Sixteenth Century, 1494-1598" by A. H. Johnson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work is part of a series aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of European history, specifically focusing on the significant political and social movements during the tumultuous sixteenth century. The book likely covers major events and the interplay of power among the leading European nations, examining the struggles for supremacy that define this complex period. The opening of the book presents a preface that sets the stage for the exploration of political dynamics during the sixteenth century, specifically the conflicts between major powers in Western Europe. Johnson explains his focus on these powers and the underlying significance of their rivalries, which are portrayed as crucial to understanding the broader shifts in European history during this period. The introduction emphasizes the transition from medieval thought and governance to modern national identities, highlighting how the fragmentation of the World-Church and the rise of individualism influenced political landscapes.
