The Course of German Nationalism: From Frederick the Great to Bismarck 1763-1867

The arduous path from the colorful diversity of the Holy Roman Empire to the Prussian-dominated German nation-state, Bismarck's German Empire of 1871, led through revolutions, wars and economic upheavals, but also through the cultural splendor of German Classicism and Romanticism. Hagen Schulze takes a fresh look at late eighteenth and nineteenth century German history, explaining it as the interaction of revolutionary forces from below and from above, of economics, politics, and culture. None of the results were predetermined, and yet their outcome was of momentous significance for all of Europe, if not the world.

The Course of German Nationalism: From Frederick the Great to Bismarck 1763–1867

The arduous path from the colorful diversity of the Holy Roman Empire to the Prussian-dominated German nation-state, Bismarck's German Empire of 1871, led through revolutions, wars and economic upheavals, but also through the cultural splendor of German Classicism and Romanticism. Hagen Schulze takes a fresh look at late eighteenth and nineteenth century German history, explaining it as the interaction of revolutionary forces from below and from above, of economics, politics, and culture.

The first general history of the evolution of European states and nations from medieval times to the present.

States, Nations and Nationalism: From the Middle Ages to the Present

In one concise volume, Hagen Schulze brilliantly conveys the full sweep of German history, from the days of the Romans to the fall of the Berlin Wall. A story two thousand years in the making, it rings with battle, murmurs with intrigue, and hums with the music of everyday life. This richly various legacy, often overshadowed and distorted by the nation's recent past, offers a hopeful answer to the perennial question of what kind of country Germany is and will be.
From the revolt of the indigenous tribes against Roman domination, Schulze leads us through the events that have defined a nation at the center of European culture--the Thirty Years' War and the decline of the Holy Roman Empire, Luther's Reformation and Bismarck's attendance at the birth of modern Germany, the Great War and its aftermath, the nationalistic megalomania under Hitler, the division of the nation after World War II and its reunification. Throughout, we see what these developments have meant for the German people, in the arena of private life and on the stage of world history. A lavish array of illustrations provides a lively counterpoint to Schulze's elegantly written narrative.
As it follows the threads of German language, nationalism, and culture to the present day, this dramatic account provides ample reassurance that recent history will not repeat itself. Germany: A New History will prove indispensable to our understanding of Germany, past and present, and the future of Europe.

IN THE GERMAN LANGUAGE. FROM THE BACK OF THE DUSTCOVER: "Nichts erscheint uns heute selbstverstandlicher als die Existenz von Staaten und Nationen. Wie aber sind sie historisch entstanden, welche Rolle haben sie in der europaischen Geschichte gespielt, welche Vorstellungen und Ideen haben sich im Laufe der Jahrhunderte mit ihnen verbunden? Hagen Schulze schildert in diesem glanzend geschriebenen Band der Reihe,,Europa bauen'' ein Jahrtausend europaischer Geschichte vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart."
