The Culture of Western Europe, George L. Mosse's sweeping cultural
history, was originally published in 1961 and revised and expanded
in 1974 and 1988. Originating from the lectures at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison for which Mosse would become famous, the book
addresses, in crisp and accessible language, the key issues he saw
as animating the movement of culture in Europe. Mosse emphasizes
the role of both rational and irrational forces in making modern
Europe, beginning with the interplay between eighteenth-century
rationalism and nineteenth-century Romanticism. He traces cultural
and political movements in all areas of society, especially
nationalism but also economics, class identity and conflict,
religion and morality, family structure, medicine, and art. This
new edition restores the original 1961 illustrations and features a
critical introduction by Anthony J. Steinhoff, professor in the
department of history at the UniversitE du QuEbec A MontrEal,
contextualizing Mosse's project and arguing for its continued
relevance today.
