Two of the most popular, innovative and controversial fields of
historical study are cultural history and the history of
nationalism. This volume brings these two areas together by
addressing a central concern of recent research on the cultural
history of Europe: the transition from the cosmopolitan culture of
the Enlightenment to the self-consciously national cultures of the
nineteenth century. Eleven lively and accessible chapters cover the
public sphere, music, the visual arts, political culture,
literature, the role of the state, and national languages. Among
the many topics discussed are the decline in the degree and
importance of patronage by the churches and the nobility; the
corresponding expansion in the role played by the anonymous public
and the market; the decline of international languages in favour of
national vernaculars; the importance of the 'other' in determining
a sense of national identity; and the growing appreciation by the
state of the significance of the 'fine arts' as being conducive to
social harmony, economic prosperity, and political stability.
