Edad Moderna


Explanation:
La Edad Moderna es el tercero de los periodos históricos en los que se divide tradicionalmente en Occidente la Historia Universal, desde Cristóbal Celarius. En esa perspectiva, la Edad Moderna sería el periodo en que triunfan los valores de la modernidad (el progreso, la comunicación, la razón) frente al periodo anterior, la Edad Media, que el tópico identifica con una Edad Oscura o paréntesis de atraso, aislamiento y oscurantismo. El espíritu de la Edad Moderna buscaría su referente en un pasado anterior, la Edad Antigua identificada como Época Clásica.

post-medieval [en este contexto]


Explanation:
En términos de periodización histórica el "Early Modern Period" es nuestra "Edad Moderna" (no "comienzos de la Edad Moderna", ojo), pero aquí se trata de comunicar una idea simple sin confundir al lector, de modo que yo usaría "post-medieval" por sencillez y claridad.
