history of modern europe since 1789: Themes in Modern European History 1780-1830 Pamela Pilbeam, 2012-08-21 Themes in Modern European History 1780-1830 is an authoritative and lively exploration of a period dominated by events which have shaped modern Europe. In a series of articles, six leading academics present some controversial conclusions: * the east/west contrast in Europe today has more to do with responses to the French Revolution of 1789 than the Russian Revolution of 1917 * the conservative Europe of 1814 was the product of the Romantic imagnation, not a `Restoration' of the old regime Spanning political, social, economic and demographic facets of revolutions, this is an indispensable textbook for all students of the nineteenth century, and for all those interested in understanding the nature of Europe today. |
history of modern europe since 1789: The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern Europe T. C. W. Blanning, 2001-01-11 Written by an international team of leading scholars, The Oxford History of Modern Europe traces Europe's turbulent history, from the beginnings of the Revolution in France to the dawn of two World Wars, to the breakup of the Soviet Union, to today's kaleidoscope of nation-states. The achievements and failures of key figures from many arenas--politics, technology, warfare, religion, and the arts among them--are drawn vividly, and social, cultural, and economic insights are included alongside the record of geopolitical strife. We read of the personality cult as exemplified by the Soviet portraits glorifying Lenin; the importance of the nylon stocking in the post-World War II economic boom; the influence of religion as five new nations (Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Romania, and Albania) emerged between 1871 and 1914--an influence that continues to be both vigorous and deadly; and the confrontation between traditional and modern cultures captured as the railway age began in Russia. Beautifully illustrated with over 200 pictures in color and black and white, this insightful book offers an unparalleled, informed perspective on the history of an ever-changing continent. |

history of modern europe since 1789: Deutsche Geschichte Des 19. und 20 Jahrhunderts. Anglais Golo Mann, 1996 'At times,' writes Golo Mann, 'the Germans seem a philosophical people, at others the most practical and most materialistic at times the most peaceful, at others the most domineering and brutal. Time after time they have surprised the world by things least expected of them.' It is this quality of paradox, even of mystery, in the German nation that the distinguished historian renders with such subtlety and penetration in this celebrated study. It traces the whole sweep of intellectual development in Germany since the French Revolution. As well as chronicling historic events, the book deals in detail with the contributions of philosophers, poets and novelists alongside those of parliamentarians and generals. |

history of modern europe since 1789: An Intellectual History of Modern Europe Roland N. Stromberg, 1966 “ “It is better,” Voltaire said, “to knowhow men thought in former times than how they acted.” Better or not, it is through an understanding of the ideas and the values that gave impetus to the commitments and actions of an era that we come to an understanding of historical events. In An Intellectual History of Modern Europe, Roland N. Stromberg offers just this perspective to the record of social change and political incident in the modern Western world. “Robespierre had his Rousseau, Lenin his Marx,” Stromberg reminds us, and each period - from the beginnings of the great Scientific and Intellectual Revolutions of the seventeenth century, through the Age of Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, and the century of Romanticism and ideological emphasis that followed, right up to and including our own period of crisis and Existential dilemma – can couple the names of its political leaders with those of its philosophers, poets, scientists and theorists. This is the task Stromberg has undertaken. Beginning with a review of the intellectual legacy of the Greek and Classical thinkers, and the body of thought bequeathed by the Medievalists and the men of the Renaissance, Stromberg traces the history of ideas as they unfolded in Europe through the centuries, creating and created by the minds of the modern age.”- Publisher |
