The Polish-Lithuanian State, 1386-1795 By Daniel Stone University of Washington Press, 2001 Part of the A History of East Central Europe series A History of East Central Europe is the first comprehensive, systematic study of the area as a whole to be published in any language. It is designed to present the series reader, the scholar who is not a specialist in East Central European history, and the student who is considering such specialization, with an introduction to the subject and a survey of knowledge deriving from previous publications. The ten projected volumes will constitute a unified treatment, with matters of interpretation and point of view entirely the responsibility of the individual author. The Polish-Lithuanian State, 1386-1795 is the first account in English devoted specifically to this important era. It takes a regional rather than a national approach, considering the internal development of the Ukrainian, Jewish, Lithuanian, and Prussian German nations that coexisted with the Poles in this multinational state.
