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.
Viele Historikerinnen und Historiker hegen Illusionen daruber, wie
leicht ihr Werk zu publizieren sei, als wurden die Verlage nur
darauf warten, es auflagenstark auf den Buchmarkt zu werfen. Andere
beklagen eine verheerende Krise von Buchhandel und
Geisteswissenschaften. Es kann scheinen, als wurden bald aufgrund
schrumpfender Bibliotheksetats und wegen des Internets uberhaupt
kaum noch wissenschaftliche Bucher veroffentlicht. Wie ist die Lage
tatsachlich? Es war langst uberfallig, dass zur Verstandigung uber
den Wandel von Geschichtswissenschaften und Buchmarkt erstmals auf
einer Tagung Vertreter beider Seiten zusammentrafen: Historiker und
Verleger bedeutender Geschichtsverlage. Hier wurde offen und
durchaus nicht konfliktscheu miteinander geredet. Dieser Band
prasentiert die Ergebnisse."
The edition British Envoys to Germany presents official reports
sent by British diplomats stationed in Germany to the Foreign
Office in London. The diplomatic correspondence of the years 1848
to 1850 vividly illustrates the importance of the 1848 revolution
and its aftermath as an epoch-making event in German and European
history. It reveals the attitudes and perceptions of British
observers in a period of great diplomatic activity and vigilance.
The developments and changing political situation between the
outbreak of the revolution and the start of the Dresden Conference
in late 1850 are reflected by the official British observers at the
level both of the individual member states of the Confederation and
of Germany as a whole. All dispatches are transcribed and annotated
for the first time. A comprehensive annotated index of names and a
subject index complete the volume.
