About The Book
The Companion to Nineteenth-Century Europe offers an in-depth overview of European history during the "long" nineteenth century, spanning from 1789 to 1914. Written by leading international scholars, this book balances coverage of political, diplomatic, and international history with discussions on economic, social, and cultural concerns.
It consists of 32 chapters, divided into six parts:
-
The idea of 'Europeanness' and European identity
-
Transition from agricultural to industrial societies
-
Political developments like revolutions, labor movements, and state formation
-
Intellectual history, including ideologies of liberalism and socialism
-
Cultural history, including literacy, science, policing, and sexuality
-
The development of the international system of great powers, with a focus on war, empire, and colonialism
The text also compares developments across Europe, examining both Eastern and Western European states, and includes considerable attention to smaller nations alongside the great powers. The book is rich with insights for students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of European history in the 19th century.
