The grand duchy of Luxembourg was created after the Napoleonic
Wars, but at the time there was no 'nation' that identified with
the emergent state. This book analyses how politicians, scholars
and artists have initiated and contributed to nation-building
processes in Luxembourg since the nineteenth century, processes
that - as this book argues - are still ongoing. The focus rests on
three types of representations of nationhood: a shared past, a
common homeland and a national language. History was written so as
to justify the country's political independence. Territorial
borders shifted meaning, constantly repositioning the national
community. The local dialect - initially considered German variant
- was gradually transformed into the 'national language',
Luxembourgish.
