Politics and Culture in 19th-Century Europe

This book offers the reader a journey into the Europe of the 19th century, a time when European modernity was born. By analysing the politics, culture, religion, and other phenomena of the 19th century, the authors show how much of our thinking is influenced by the era in which Europe became the dominant continent, shaping the lives of many non-European countries. The developments and ideas of that time became the blueprint for building institutions and organisations that still influence our daily lives, as well as our perceptions and behaviour. Through a dialogue between history and social sciences, the reader is offered not only a rich source of information, but also a key to understanding that era and its ever-relevant legacy.
