Yet building the nation state was only one part of a process of reorganizing society and reconnecting people nationally and trans-nationally. With great conceptual clarity and a wealth of information, this book charts how the Germans made sense of the modern world that emerged around them.” —\u003ci\u003eBenjamin Ziemann, Professor of Modern German History, University of Sheffield, UK\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This sparkling collection of essays has a distinguished pedigree, and now it has been thoroughly updated with new authors and new ideas. All chapters address compelling debates about the transformations of German life from the French Revolution to the First World War, putting the lie to lamentations that the 19th century is somehow vanishing from writing on German and European history. Breuilly's conclusion challenges readers to reconsider the social, economic, cultural and political changes that made Germany into one of the most modern-and restless-nations on earth.” —\u003ci\u003eJames Retallack, Professor of History and German Studies, University of Toronto, Canada\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781474269469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40663827185870,"sku":"9781474269469","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_ebffb541-8507-4c64-b6ff-0c086839c65e.jpg?v=1639623378","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781474269469","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
