The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism
This major new reference work with contributions from an international team of scholars provides a comprehensive account of ideas and practices of nationhood and nationalism from antiquity to the present. It considers both continuities and discontinuities, engaging critically and analytically with the scholarly literature in the field. Volume I starts with a series of case studies of classical civilizations. It then explores a wide range of pivot…
Visions and Ideas of Europe during the First World War
Given the destruction and suffering caused by more than four years of industrialised warfare and economic hardship, scholars have tended to focus on the nationalism and hatred in the belligerent countries, holding that it led to a fundamental rupture of any sense of European commonality and unity. It is the central aim of this volume to correct this view and to highlight that many observers saw the conflict as a ‘European civil war’, and to discu…
The Tannenberg myth in history and literature, 1914–1945
The Battle of Tannenberg in late August 1914 has been described as the ‘most powerful German myth’ of the First World War. This essay analyses the role of the battle in German collective memory up to the end of the Third Reich. During the war, the victory in East Prussia was celebrated widely and greatly contributed to the personality cult surrounding Paul von Hindenburg. After 1918, Tannenberg served right-wing circles as a political argument ag…
Narrating Europe
In an essay that was part of a string of works aimed at unravelling the meaning of 'Europe', J.G.A. Pocock emphasised the indeterminacy of its identity as a constituent element of any discourse about Europe.Its resistance and resilience against all attempts to fix its boundaries and to define its past would be the main component of Europe's (self)representations.Viewed from such an angle, European identity might be, at best, the recognition of a …
Notions of solidarity and integration in times of war
This article argues that the First World War did not just aggravate nationalist sentiments but also encouraged intercultural exchange and a better understanding of other societies and ways of life. Indeed, the wartime prevalence of notions of solidarity and integration requires more attention and careful analysis. The essay explores three key issues, focusing in particular on solidarity practices and transnational interaction. It investigates mil…
Problèmes et perspectives d’une histoire de l’idée européenne de la Révolution française au Printemps des peuples (1789-1848/49)
Notre article envisage un pan de l’histoire de l’idée européenne jusqu’alors resté dans l’angle mort. Mettant l’accent sur l’histoire de cette idée au cours de la première moitié du dix-neuvième siècle, l’article propose un aperçu des grandes orientations de la question et fait apparaître les points sujets à discussion et les lacunes à combler. Les réactions et les projets européens des hommes politiques, des diplomates, des philosophes et des éc…

Germany, Austria, and the Idea of the German Nation, 1871–1914
German–Austrian relations have long been neglected by historical research, in particular as regards questions of nationalism and national identity. This essay explores Austria’s role in German national discourse between the formation of the nation‐state and the outbreak of the First World War. Even after Vienna’s exclusion from German affairs in 1866/71, a certain sense of togetherness with Austrian Germandom remained, fostered by a common langua…
