The term 'early modern' has been familiar, especially in Anglophone scholarship, for four decades and is securely established in teaching, research, and scholarly publishing. More recently, however, the unity implied in the notion has fragmented, while the usefulness and even the validity of the term, and the historical periodisation which it incorporates, have been questioned. \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Early Modern European History, 1350-1750\u003c\/em\u003e provides an account of the development of the subject during the past half-century, but primarily offers an integrated and comprehensive survey of present knowledge, together with some suggestions as to how the field is developing. It aims both to interrogate the notion of \"early modernity\" itself and to survey early modern Europe as an established field of study. The overriding aim will be to establish that 'early modern' is not simply a\u003cbr\u003echronological label but possesses a substantive integrity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolume II is devoted to \"Cultures and Power\", opening with chapters on philosophy, science, art and architecture, music, and the Enlightenment. Subsequent sections examine 'Europe beyond Europe', with the transformation of contact with other continents during the first global age, and military and political developments, notably the expansion of state power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHamish Scott\u003c\/strong\u003e has published extensively on eighteenth-century international relations, government and enlightened absolutism, and on the early modern nobility.
