Summary
PROBLEMS AND SOURCES
During the last decades the attention of historians dealing with the period 1635–43 has mainly centred on France and Spain.
The best introduction to the complex group of Spanish problems is Imperial Spain 1469–1716 by J. H. Elliott. He has supplemented it with the large monograph on the revolution in Catalonia which has been mentioned. J. Sanabre has written on the French intervention in Catalonia, and Catalonia itself has been dealt with by P. Vilar. There is no good survey yet of the revolution in Portugal, but F. Mauro has published work on the Portuguese economy. H. Kellenbenz has traced Dutch–Spanish economic relations and also studied the material aspects of the Franco–Swedish alliance.
France in the age of Richelieu has been described by V. L. Tapié and R. Mandrou in works already cited. H. Lonchay has studied French and Spanish activities in the Netherlands – a problem which was also treated in volume IV of the History of Belgium by Henri Pirenne. The noteworthy book by A. van der Essen on the Cardinal Infanta and Spanish policy in Europe unfortunately only goes up to 1634.
J. U. Nef has traced the results of the changing military balance in the conflict. A new work on Swedish foreign policy has been published by W. Tham, tracing the rise of Swedish power.
