Antimodernism, a popular movement growing out of fear and hostility
toward an emerging new world, became a central ideological trend in
late nineteenth-century Europe. Shulamit Volkov explains its
development in Germany by providing a biography of one group--the
urban master artisans--whose political attitudes came to be
dominated by antimodernist feelings. As small, independently
employed practitioners of traditional crafts, the master artisans
possessed a special social identity. The author focuses on their
character as a group, their public behavior, and the formation of
their ideas and political allegiance. She contends that between
1873 and 1898--a period often called the "Great Depression"--this
group underwent a crucial change in attitude reflecting a growing
sense of social isolation and political homelessness. To understand
the complexities of their outlook, Shulamit Volkov considers
changes in their economic and social position during
industrialization and the Great Depression, comparing the German
experience with that of England. Her analysis of economic, social,
cultural, and political history uncovers the forces that led to the
emergence of popular antimodernism and helped attract part of the
German populace to prefascist ideas. Originally published in 1978.
