The phrase fin de si?cle conjures up images of artistic
experimentation and political decadence. The contributors to this
volume argue that Wilhelmine Germany -- best known for its
industrial and military muscle -- also shared these traits. Their
essays look back to the years between 1885 and 1914 to find in
Germany a mixture of sociopolitical malaise and experimental
exhilaration that was similar in many ways to the better-known
cases of France and Austria.
Revising the view that the German Second Reich was merely a
precursor to the Third, this broad-scoped study presents pre--World
War I Germany in its own fascinating and often contradictory terms.
The foundations of the antiliberal passions that would plague the
Weimar Republic are evident, but Wilhelmine society also had a
lighter, more playful and moderate spirit, one that was largely
extinguished by the Great War.
Blending social, cultural, and intellectual history, the
contributors -- a distinguished cross-section of older and younger
scholars -- trace changing German views on liberalism, penal
reform, race, women, art, popular culture, and technology. They
juxtapose better-known figures such as Max Weber, Thomas Mann, and
Martin Heidegger with now-forgotten individuals like the Jewish
feminist novelist Grete Meisel-Hess and the iconoclastic Swiss
painter Arnold B?cklin. Their essay topics range from the esoteric
and erotic poetry of Stefan George to the Jewish comedy of the
Herrnfeld Theater. "Modernity" is examined from the perspectives of
bourgeois cinema-goers and judicial reformers, as well as from the
viewpoint of Carl Jung. The result is a variegated picture of an
unsettled world, rich in its innovations, ambitious in its
undertakings, and often apocalyptic in its dreams.
More and more we are challenged by today's learning environment -
students are different, digital tools are evolving, and instructors
are continually asked to do more with less yet show greater
results. With the creation of "Many Europes, Choice & Chance in
Western Civilization," an entirely integrated program, we recognize
this changing environment and set out with the goal of better
meeting the western civilization course challenges of improving
student performance, critical analysis skills, and overall
comprehension in a continually evolving teaching and learning
environment.
What does it mean - integrated program? Rather than a traditional
narrative text that then has ancillary support material or
supplements tacked onto it, "Many Europes" was constructed as a
program. Each narrative section has clearly stated learning
objectives that are tied to the digital tools which drive the
program's assessment. A key tool in driving knowledge is
McGraw-Hill's LearnSmart, an adaptive assessment tool, which has
proven results of increasing student comprehension and overall
course results. Yet, we realize that while history instructors want
students to know basic historical facts, the actual goal of the
course is improving student's critical thinking abilities. Our
Critical Missions develop analysis skills through the examination
of maps, primary sources and the completion of a written argument.
In addition, several other assignment types within McGraw-Hill's
Connect drive the development of analysis skills and are also tied
directly to learning objectives.
What do we mean by Choice? Unique to this program, "Many Europes"
discusses European history as a series of choices within a set of
historical circumstances, driving greater critical analysis as
students realize that Europe's fate was never inevitable but
instead was created by individuals with diverse voices and
perspectives. Choice also means flexibility. "Many Europes"'
flexible content including a customizable documents collection
available as print or digital as well as many user options from a
completely digital experience to a hybrid print and digital
experience, or if you must, an all print experience.
What do we mean by Chance? In history chance shows itself as a
dropped letter, an unexpected storm, or surprise turn of events.
Chance can also show itself as a new way, path, or direction that
allows for the anticipation and expectation of something better.
"Many Europes'" flexible content coupled with powerful digital
learning tools and a customizable documents collection gives users
an innovative choice for the teaching and learning of Western
Civilization as well as a better chance for improved student
results and course outcomes.
