Nationalism in Europe: From 1815 to the Present

by Stuart Woolf (Editor)

Overview

Nationalism is virtually impossible not to identify oneself with a nation-state, and yet nationalism is historically a modern phenomenon. This reader of classic texts draws on authors spanning a chronological period and from a variety of European countries - including John Stuart Mill and Otto Bauer - to explore the theme of nationalism in Europe. It provides texts long enough for the undergraduate student to study critically, and makes available the central building blocks for theoretical discussion.

Editorial Reviews

." . . a historical survey of the political, social and cultural features of the subject which is itself rich enough to rate as a major addition to the current literature on the perennially challenging topic of how national identities are molded."
