Description
Bismarck and the Development of Germany, Volume II: "The Period of Consolidation, 1871-1880" opens at a time when Bismarck had become the dominant figure in German and European politics, and the new German Reich was the most formidable power on the continent.
Questions arose. What new goals would the "man of blood and iron" now pursue? What new conquests might be necessary to satiate a people steeped in the history and legends of a medieval empire?
Otto Pflanze offers a comprehensive treatment of the years of consolidation, when, in reality, German unification introduced not a new era of conquest and bloodshed but a period of international order that lasted, despite many crises, for more than forty years.
Originally published in 1990, the Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

German Nationalism and Religious Conflict
The German Empire of 1871, although unified politically, remained deeply divided along religious lines. In German Nationalism and Religious Conflict, Helmut Walser Smith offers the first social, cultural, and political history of this division.

Past and Process in Herodotus and Thucydides

Political Thought of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
Alan Ritter examines the writings of Proudhon with a focus on the theme that, although Proudhon was a radical, he was also a realist and a moralist.

The Origin of the Idea of Crusade
Though conditioned by the specific circumstances of eleventh-century Europe, the launching of the crusades presupposed a long historical evolution of the idea of Christian knighthood and holy war. Carl Erdmann developed this argument first in 1935 in a book that is still recognised as basic to an understanding of how the crusades came about. This first edition in English includes...Paperback$29800Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
John Stuart Mill and Representative Government
Although Mill regarded Considerations on Representative Government as a mature statement of his theory of democracy, critics have tended to treat it less seriously than most of his other major works.

Drawing where appropriate on other writings by Mill, the author restores a balanced...Paperback$16700Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
Interpretation
This book provides and defends an analysis of our concept of the meaning of a literary work.

The Sovereignty of Reason is a survey of the rule of faith controversy in seventeenth-century England.
