With this translation, one of the classics of German historical
literature becomes available in English. In Weltburgertum und
Nationalstaat the eminent historian Friedrich Meinecke attempted to
trace the transition in Germany from eighteenth-century
cosmopolitanism to nineteenth-century nationalism, and to clarify
the genetic history of the German nation through an analysis of the
relationship between Prussia and Germany. The insights and
arguments that Meinecke developed in this work have influenced two
generations of historians, as has his superb methodology, which
integrated the two areas of ideas and politics with rare
effectiveness. Originally published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
