Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Enlightened Nationalism Provides The First Synthesis In English Of Prussian Political Culture From The Napoleonic Era To The Revolution Of 1848. Matthew Levinger Challenges The Conventional Notion That Prussia Lagged Behind Western Europe In Its Political Development, Demonstrating That Prussian Leaders Embraced A Distinctive Program Of Political Modernization In Response To Their Country'S Defeat By Napoleon In 18061807. Building On The Eighteenthcentury Tradition Of Enlightened Absolutism, Prussian Leaders Attempted To Unite A Rationalized Monarchy With A Politically Active 'Nation,' Thus Mobilizing The Populace To Resist The French Oppressors. The New Culture Of 'Enlightened Nationalism' Influenced The Political Theory And Program Of Both Liberals And Conservatives In Nineteenthcentury Prussia.The Book Has Important Implications For Understanding Both Subsequent German History And The History Of Nationalism In General. The Author Shows That The Socalled Authoritarian Tendencies In Prussia'S Political Culture Resulted From Its Distinctive Response To The Challenges Of The French Revolution And Napoleonic Era, Rather Than From The Persistence Of Premodern Cultural Or Socioeconomic Patterns. Likewise, By Showing How Nationalist Activists Drew On The Cultural Legacy Of The Enlightenment, Levinger Demonstrates That German Nationalism Cannot Be Understood As A Uniquely Pathological Political Phenomenon.Inspired By Recent Work Exploring The Role Of Discourse In Historical Change, The Book Analyzes How The Word 'Nation' Functioned In Daytoday Debates And How This Limited And Shaped Political Options. Enlightened Nationalism Produced A Mixed Legacy: It Promoted The Reform Of The Education System, Popular Participation In Local Selfgovernment, And Administrative Rationalization. But It Also Resulted In Exaggerated Fears Of Political Dissent, Reinforcing The Authority Of The Monarchical State And Inhibiting The Formation Of A Vibrant System Of Parliamentary Rule.
