It is often taken for granted that modernity emerged in Europe and
diffused from there across the world. This book questions that
assumption and re-examines the question of European modernity in
the light of world history. Bo Strath and Peter Wagner re-position
Europe in the global context of the 19th and 20th centuries. They
show that Europe is less modern than has been assumed, and
modernity less European and thus decentre Europe in a way that
makes room for a wider historical perspective. Adopting a thematic
structure, the authors reconceive the idea of European modernity in
relation to key topics such as democracy, capitalism and market
society, individual autonomy, religion and politics. European
Modernity is an important addition to the literature that will be
of interest to all students and scholars of modern European
history.
