"The division of European society and culture along a North/South axis was one of
the most decisive and enduring developments in the modern world. In North/South, which
completes a trilogy of works devoted to the study of the mind and body of Europe,
Ricardo J. Quinones examines the momentous early modern origins of this division.
Quinones focuses on four concepts connected with the Protestant Reformation whose
emergence defines the rise of the North and the subjugation of the South: Christian
liberty, skepticism, tolerance, and time. Tracing their influence through the political
and philosophical conflicts of the era and forward into the Enlightenment, he suggests
that they constitute the basis of Europe's transformation between the sixteenth century
and the dawn of the industrial revolution." ; "A fascinating combination of cultural
and intellectual history, philosophy, and comparative literature written in the vein
of Quinones' award-winning Dualisms, this work, called "dazzling" by one critic, shows
a contemporary pertinence with the relapse of the South into the subordinate position
which it was thought to have overcome."
