The success of 16th-century Holland, its wealth and political power, is reflected in the common name Golden Age. Price (history, U. of Hull, England) looks at how people experienced life in this period, showing how this prosperous country differed from the rest of Europe. Following a description of the political events that led to the emergence of the Dutch Republic and the economic miracle that followed, he traces the changes in society, both in city and town, and describes the essential characteristics of the resulting new social reality, its variations, and evolution.
