This book proposes a theory of collective and national identity
based on culture and language rather than power and politics.
Applying this to what he calls Germany's 'axial age', Bernhard
Giesen shows how the codes of nineteenth-century German identity in
turn became those of the divided Germany between 1945 and 1989. The
identity he describes derives from the ideas of German
intellectuals, from the uprooted Romantic poets to the influential
German mandarins. Carried by the emerging bourgeoisie, it was
constructed on the tensions between power and spirit, money and
culture, and the sacred and profane.
