The Financial Time’s books editor reflects on the literary year, and includes Mark Greengrass’s new publication Christendom Destroyed: Europe 1517-1648

‘The political and religious conflicts of early modern Europe receive high-quality treatment from Greengrass, professor emeritus at the UK’s Sheffield university. But he also gives a detailed account of changes in ordinary people’s lives, from diet and clothes to language, making the book an excellent addition to the new Penguin History of Europe.’

– Tony Barber
