The monumental work of the renowned 19th-century American historian W. H. Prescott (1796-1859), "The Reigns of Ferdinand and Isabella," is dedicated to the fascinating era of Europe's transition from the Middle Ages to the Golden Age, and forms the foundation for the study of this important period.

Volume I, Part I, examines the path of the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon to the unified monarchy known as Spain. It covers the period from the Crusades to the 1470s—the formation of statehood on the Iberian Peninsula, dynastic struggles, the marriage of the monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, and the birth of the Inquisition.

Volume II, Part I, examines the reigns from 1481 to 1493. The main part is devoted to the Granada War, which lasted for 10 long years and ended with the fall of the Kingdom of Granada and the expulsion of the Moors. During this time, Columbus's first voyages took place under the patronage of Isabella. Furthermore, the reader finds a thoughtful analysis of Spanish literature and poetry of the era.
