Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

First published in 1987, this collection of essays, from one of the leading historians in the field, is concerned with the central debates about German history from Bismarck to Hitler. David Blackbourn questions many previously held assumptions, whether about the natural conservatism of the German peasantry or the 'feudalisation' of the middle classes, and offers a new angle of approach to such subjects as liberalism, anti-semitism, and the continuing importance of religion in German history.

Populists and Patricians (Routledge Revivals) brings together social, economic, cultural, and political history. Each essay is concerned with the social and political flux that characterised the period, and with the problems and opportunities it presented. This reissue will be of great value to any students and academics with an interest in the history of modern Germany.
