{"product_id":"the-early-vasas-michael-roberts-9780521311823","title":"The Early Vasas: A History of Sweden 1523-1611","description":"This comprehensive history of sixteenth-century Sweden has remained a standard work for English-speaking historians since its publication in 1968. It is now available in paperback for the first time. The book includes a full account of the reign of Gustav Vasa (1523-60), one of the greatest rulers of his age, and of the half-century after his death that paved the way for Sweden's emergence as a great power. Professor Roberts provides an account of the course of the Swedish Reformation: he analyses those trans-Baltic entanglements which were to assume such importance, both for Sweden and for Europe, in the next century; and he pays particular attention to the constitutional controversies which reached their climax, though not their end, with the deposition of King Sigismund and the 'Bloodbath of Link ping'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521311829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521311823\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.19d","brand":"Michael Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056260804863,"sku":"9780521311823","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b135dac-400b-4422-bc1a-27e1b41db583.jpg?v=1685040381","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-early-vasas-michael-roberts-9780521311823","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
