William Whyte and Oliver Zimmer, editors. Nationalism and the Reshaping of Urban Communities in Europe, 1848–1914
Both the introduction and the conclusion to this collection of essays edited by William Whyte and Oliver Zimmer refer to a view of nationalism—articulated most influentially by Ernest Gellner and Anthony D. Smith—according to which its rise was closely linked to the process of urbanization. By drawing people together in places where they not only encountered fellow city dwellers constantly but also became subject to the mobilizing impact of, amon…
European Cities and Towns, 400-2000, by Peter Clark
Between anxiety and admiration: Views of British cities in Germany, 1835–1914
Examination of writings about British cities that appeared in Germany between the mid-1830s and 1914 runs counter to emphasis either on German anti-urbanism or on growing hostility among Germans to their neighbours across the North Sea. Although it takes into account strong disparagement of flaws and failings that had, in the view of critics, resulted from the chaotic nature of urban growth in Britain, it points to increasing recognition – partic…
Poor Relief and Welfare in Germany from the Reformation to World War I
Broad views of the urban past in Europe and its extensions
Readers of English can currently refer to only two works that offer synthetic overviews of the history of European cities from the period of classical antiquity into the twentieth century. We have long had the powerfully argued and highly readable book by the architectural critic, Louis Mumford, The City in History: Its Origins, Its Transformation, and Its Prospects (1961). Beginning with the earliest settlements in the Near East and continuing t…

Towards an Urban Nation: Germany Since 1780
For many people, urbanization and the growth of big cities promised new lives, employment opportunities and increased prosperity. And in the long run this fundamental process of social change witnessed the spread of a new urban way of life. In the short run, however, the rapid urbanization of German society brought a range of pressing social, political and environmental concerns. Rapidly expanding cities meant overcrowding, sickness, pollution an…
Rethinking Vienna 1900
Fin-de-siecle Vienna remains a central event in the birth of the century's modern culture. Our understanding of what happened in those key decades in Central Europe at the turn of the century has been shaped in the last years by an historiography presided over by Carl Schorske's Fin de Siecle Vienna and the model of the relationship between politics and culture which emerged from his work and that of his followers. Recent scholarship, however, ha…

"Cities, Sin, and Social Reform in Imperial Germany breaks new ground in the history of social thought and action in Germany from 1870 to 1914.

It thus points the reader toward connections and parallels between Germany and other parts of the transatlantic world.". "…

Belonging in the Two Berlins: Kin, State, Nation
Belonging in the two Berlins is an ethnographic investigation into the meaning of German selfhood during the Cold War. Taking the practices of everyday life in the divided Berlin as his point of departure, Borneman shows how ideas of kin, state, and nation were constructed through processes of mirror-imaging and misrecognition. Using linguistics and narrative analysis, he compares the autobiographies of two generations of Berlins residents with t…

Art as History: Episodes in the Culture and Politics of Nineteenth-Century Germany
Paintings and graphics, novels and poems are historical sources as well as aesthetic objects. Artists themselves become historians when they interpret the pastby painting a historical scene, for instance, or by discussing earlier times in a novel. Artists both reflect and shape their environment. These concepts underlie Peter Paret's new study of Germany in the nineteenth century.The book spans fifty years of German history, from the rise of libe…

It focuses on a series of lectures held in Dresden in connection with a major exhibition on cities and published in 1903 under the title Die Großstadt: Vorträge und Aufsätze zur Städteausstellung , but it also points out the ways in which the ideas expressed in Dresden reflected broader intellectual trends elsewhere. It al…
