内容説明

This book provides an introduction to the complex genesis of Germany's intellectual identity, focusing on themes of a cultural, historical, philosophical and literary nature. As Goethe and Schiller noted in 1796; "Germany? But where does one find her? ...Where her learning begins, her politics end." German identity has always been a problem, and one which has come to the fore again with German unification and with Germany's role in Europe and the wider world. Whilst many academic courses focus on the 20th century, this book provides a much wider perspective on Germany's cultural past. Topics include: the legacy of the medieval Holy Roman Empire; German Protestantism; the German response to the Enlightenment; nationalism and the "Sonderweg" debate; the significance of education for social development and the emergence of a German bourgeoisie. Key figures in philosophy, history, politics and literature are introduced, and each chapter is supplemented by an "Arbeitsteil" of annotated texts in German, followed by further material for individual study. For foundation and "A" level courses in German studies, this text also provides source material for more advanced students.

内容説明

From the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century, Liverpool was frequently referred to as the 'second city of the empire'. Yet, the role of Liverpool within the British imperial system and the impact on the city of its colonial connections remain underplayed in recent writing on both Liverpool and the empire. However, 'inconvenient' this may prove, this specially-commissioned collection of essays demonstrates that the imperial dimension deserves more prevalence in both academic and popular representations of Liverpool's past. Indeed, if Liverpool does represent the 'World in One City' - the slogan for Liverpool's status as European Capital of Culture in 2008 - it could be argued that this is largely down to Merseyside's long-term interactions with the colonial world, and the legacies of that imperial history. In the context of Capital of Culture year and growing interest in the relationship between British provincial cities and the British empire, this book will find a wide audience amongst academics, students and history enthusiasts generally. -- .
