Greatest Work Available on 18th Century Poland,
By Glenn Dynner (Boston, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Liberty's Folly: The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Eighteenth Century 1697-1795 (Hardcover)
While Lukowski's work is not easy to get through, being rather dense, Liberty's Folly is the richest and most exhaustive analysis of 18th century Polish society available in English. Lukowski has drawn upon a large range of sources to produce a description of 18th century Polish society at every level- from the nobility through the townspeople to the peasantry. The second part of the book constitues a handy summary of Polish chronological history in the 18th century. The patient reader is rewarded with a social historical explanation for a (once) great nation's demise: the tragic combination of the domination of Poland by the nobility, a weak urban class, and an enserfed peasantry.
