The diplomatic and political events leading to the establishment of
the German Empire have been studied extensively, but the social
matrix of civic activity has been sadly neglected. Professor
Hamerow fills this gap by dealing first with the development of the
economy and the community under the influence of industrialization.
He then considers the ideologies of the era and the groups
supporting them: liberalism and the middle class; conservatism and
the outlook of the old order; socialism and the emerging industrial
working class. The final section of his book is on the structure of
politics: the system of parties, the nature of civic organizations,
and public opinion. Originally published in 1969. 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.
