Republics, Nations and Tribes The Ancient City and the Modern World

"...by focusing so intensely and so effectively on the dilemmas of the generation of European intellectuals active between roughly 1795 and 1830, as they set about overturning the civic traditions which had been their inheritance, Thom invites scholars to engage in a process of archaeological rescue of half-buried humane and liberal Enlightenment values. This difficult, yet eloquent, book thereby challenges us to try to rethink the history--and the present--of European nationalism in some fundamental ways."Thom, Martin is the author of 'Republics, Nations and Tribes The Ancient City and the Modern World' with ISBN 9781859840207 and ISBN 1859840205.
