Historians and Nationalism East-Central Europe in the Nineteenth Century BAAR MONIKA E-Books Englisch

Monika Baar examines the work of five prominent East-Central European historians in the nineteenth century, analyzing and contrasting their body of work, their promotion of a national culture, and the contributions they made to European historiography.

Zusammenfassung
Peripheral cultures have been largely absent from the European canon of historiography. Seeking to redress the balance, Monika Baar discusses the achievements of five East-Central European historians in the nineteenth century: Joachim Lelewel (Polish); Simonas Daukantas (Lithuanian); Frantisek Palacky (Czech); Mihaly Horvath (Hungarian) and Mihail Kogalniceanu (Romanian). Comparing their efforts to promote a unified vision of national culture intheir respective countries, Bar illuminates the complexities of historical writing in the region in the nineteenth century. Drawing on previously untranslated documents, Bar reconstructs the scholars' shared intellectual background and their nationalistic aims, arguing that historians on the European periphery made significant contributions to historical writing, and had far more in common with their Western and Central European contemporaries than has been previously assumed.
