..".a balanced and perceptive analysis...a superb monograph." . The
Historian ..".an interesting political application of the
psychological tendency to overlook our own weaknesses even as we
attribute them to someone else...This work has obvious value as an
introductory text for student historians of France and Germany; its
study of cultural identities and national myths also makes it
pertinent to young scholars interested in the workings of
international affairs. Instructors of modern European history
courses, or French or German civilization courses will find this
volume to be valuable background reading." . French Review "Michael
Nolan's broad and deep learning, sharp thinking, and elegant style
combine to make fresh and exciting reading out of what might have
been thought to be a familiar tale of bygone mutual hostility
between two peoples and cultures. He bears his erudition lightly,
yet it blows through every portion of this fine work." . Rudolph
Binion, Brandeis University "This study shines by its elegance,
erudition, and thoughtfulness ... It is a joy to read." . Paul
Jankowski, Brandeis University "The comprehensive study...is
convincing not least because of its substantial sources." .
Historische Zeitschrift It is hard to imagine nowadays that, for
many years, France and Germany considered each other as "arch
enemies." And yet, for well over a century, these two countries
waged verbal and ultimately violent wars against each other. This
study explores a particularly virulent phase during which each of
these two nations projected certain assumptions about national
character onto the other - distorted images, motivated by
antipathy, fear, and envy, which contributed to the growing
hostility between the two countries in the years before the First
World War. Most remarkably, as the author discovered, the qualities
each country ascribed to its chief adversary appeared to be
exaggerated or negative versions of precisely those qualities that
it perceived to be lacking or inadequate in itself. Moreover,
banishing undesirable traits and projecting them onto another
people was also an essential step in the consolidation of national
identity. As such, it established a pattern that has become all too
familiar to students of nationalism and xenophobia in recent
decades. This study shows that antagonism between states is not a
fact of nature but socially constructed. Michael Nolan received his
Masters degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and
his doctorate from Brandeis University. He currently teaches at
Western Connecticut State University in Danbury.
First published in 1805, this work summarises the vast array of
laws at the time on the relief of the poor in Great Britain. Split
across two volumes, it not only condenses the laws themselves but
also disentangles the theory and doctrine of each law and explains
how the theory should have been applied in practice. This work will
be a valuable primary source for those studying 19th poor relief
and welfare.
