Across nineteenth-century Europe, the emergence of constitutional
and democratic nation-states was accompanied by intense conflict
between Catholics and anticlerical forces. At its peak, this
conflict touched virtually every sphere of social life: schools,
universities, the press, marriage and gender relations, burial
rites, associational culture, the control of public space, folk
memory and the symbols of nationhood. In short, these conflicts
were 'culture wars', in which the values and collective practices
of modern life were at stake. These 'culture wars' have generally
been seen as a chapter in the history of specific nation-states.
Yet it has recently become increasingly clear that the Europe of
the mid- and later nineteenth century should also be seen as a
common politico-cultural space. This book breaks with the
conventional approach by setting developments in specific states
within an all-European and comparative context, offering a fresh
and revealing perspective on one of modernity's formative
conflicts.
