Focusing on the era in which the modern idea of nationalism emerged
as a way of establishing the preferred political, cultural, and
social order for society, this book demonstrates that across
different European societies the most important constituent of
nationalism has been a specific understanding of the nation's
historical past. Analysing Ireland and Germany, two largely
unconnected societies in which the past was peculiarly contemporary
in politics and where the meaning of the nation was highly
contested, this volume examines how narratives of origins,
religion, territory and race produced by historians who were
central figures in the cultural and intellectual histories of both
countries interacted; it also explores the similarities and
differences between the interactions in these societies. Histories
of Nationalism in Ireland and Germany investigates whether we can
speak of a particular common form of nationalism in Europe. The
book draws attention to cultural and intellectual links between the
Irish and the Germans during this period, and what this meant for
how people in either society understood their national identity in
a pivotal time for the development of the historical discipline in
Europe. Contributing to a growing body of research on the
'transnationality' of nationalism, this new study of a
hitherto-unexplored area will be of interest to historians of
modern Germany and Ireland, comparative and transnational
historians, and students and scholars of nationalism, as well as
those interested in the relationship between biography and writing
history.
