- Summary:
- Ranging widely across countries and centuries, "National Thought in Europe" critically analyzes the growth of nationalism from its beginnings in medieval ethnic prejudice to the romantic era' s belief in a national soul. A fertile pan-European exchange of ideas, often rooted in literature, led to a notion of a nation' s cultural individuality that transformed the map of Europe. By looking deeply at the cultural contexts of nationalism, Joep Leerssen not only helps readers understand the continent' s past, but he also provides a surprising perspective on contemporary European identity politics.
