Western Civilisation was in its pomp when Jacob Burckhardt
delivered his Judgements on History and Historians; European
Empires spanned the globe, while the modern age was being forged in
the nationalist revolutions of 1848. As a tutor to the young
Friedrich Nietzsche as well as one of the first historians to take
'culture' as his subject rather than the triumphs and travails of
kings and generals, Burckhardt was at the vanguard of this modern
sensibility. Ambitious in its scope, ranging from the days of
Ancient Egypt, through the Reformation to the time of Napoleon,
this is indeed a history of 'Western Civilization', written before
two monstrous world wars threw such a concept into disrepute.
