Praise for the Third Edition '... Burke’s is still an erudite and stimulating guide to pre-industrial European culture after thirty years of lively work in the field.’ Times Literary Supplement ’... probably even more important now than it was in 1978.’ Times Higher Education 'The study of popular culture has come a long way since the first publication of Burke’s work. However, it is still the only work offering a European-wide view. This updated, third edition remains a valuable reference point for those interested in early modern European societies.' Historein 'Burke’s highly readable book remains an excellent introduction to early modern European history.' Sport in History
