Book Synopsis Ideas of Europe since 1914 by : M. Spiering
Download or read book Ideas of Europe since 1914 written by M. Spiering and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-07-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the history of Europe in the twentieth century and concentrates on two particular aspects. First, it examines the impact of the Great War on Europe; secondly it is concerned with European civilization and with ideas of what is meant to be 'European'. The approach is interdisciplinary, including integrated analyses from politics, international relations, political ideas, literature, and the visual arts. The common focus, which links all the chapters, is the effect of the Great War on a European mentality, or European identity. It targets reactions to the First World War up to 1939, but extends its coverage in many areas up to the 1990s, offering a wide-ranging view of Europe in the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis The Idea of Europe in British Travel Narratives, 1789-1914 by : Dr Katarina Gephardt
Download or read book The Idea of Europe in British Travel Narratives, 1789-1914 written by Dr Katarina Gephardt and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Showing how specific rhetorical strategies used in nineteenth-century British travel writing produced fictional representations of continental Europe in works by Ann Radcliffe, Lord Byron, Charles Dickens, and Bram Stoker, Katarina Gephardt argues that nineteenth-century writers envisioned their country simultaneously as distinct from the Continent and as a part of Europe. She suggests that their imaginative geography of Europe anticipated Britain’s ambivalence about European integration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time the First World War ended in 1918, eight million people had died in what had been perhaps the most apocalyptic episode the world had known. This Very Short Introduction provides a concise and insightful history of the 'Great War', focusing on why it happened, how it was fought, and why it had the consequences it did. It examines the state of Europe in 1914 and the outbreak of war; the onset of attrition and crisis; the role of the US; the collapse of Russia; and the weakening and eventual surrender of the Central Powers. Looking at the historical controversies surrounding the causes and conduct of war, Michael Howard also describes how peace was ultimately made, and the potent legacy of resentment left to Germany.

Book Synopsis Visions and Ideas of Europe during the First World War by : Matthew D'Auria
Download or read book Visions and Ideas of Europe during the First World War written by Matthew D'Auria and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the destruction and suffering caused by more than four years of industrialised warfare and economic hardship, scholars have tended to focus on the nationalism and hatred in the belligerent countries, holding that it led to a fundamental rupture of any sense of European commonality and unity. It is the central aim of this volume to correct this view and to highlight that many observers saw the conflict as a ‘European civil war’, and to discuss what this meant for discourses about Europe. Bringing together a remarkable range of compelling and highly original topics, this collection explores notions, images, and ideas of Europe in the midst of catastrophe.
Book Synopsis European Encounters by : Carlos Reijnen
Download or read book European Encounters written by Carlos Reijnen and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2014-04-20 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European Encounters explores the making and remaking of ideas of Europe between 1914 and 1945 as a result of intellectual encounters and intellectual exchange. Against the background of the first half of the twentieth century European intellectuals feverishly chased new and uncharted territories, most often across national borders. Their encounters with other intellectuals, or ideas, cultures, concepts and practices produced new understandings of Europe and triggered projects for Europe’s future. West-European writers turned to Russian literature, Catholic politicians from Northern Europe embraced corporatist and fascist solutions from Mediterranean Europe, scientist pointed at science and their network as sources of peace and reconciliation and others committed themselves to the European federalism of the Pan-Europa Movement. This volume unravels the encounters and exchanges that lie at the roots of this attempt at rethinking Europe.

Book Synopsis A History of European Integration Since 1914 by : Peter M. R. Stirk
Download or read book A History of European Integration Since 1914 written by Peter M. R. Stirk and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1996 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The First World War, like the Second, was to have a profound impact upon the development of European integration. However, the First World War also ushered in a period of violent instability which dramatically shaped the form of integration in Europe. It is the central contention of this book that the integration process can only be understood and assessed in the light of this instability." "In this broad-ranging, chronological study, the author charts the development of European integration since 1914, from Pan-Europa to the relative uncertainty of the post-Cold War period. The volume will be of interest to students, academics and researchers."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Book Synopsis Europe 1850-1914 by : Jonathan Sperber
Download or read book Europe 1850-1914 written by Jonathan Sperber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative survey of European history from the middle of the nineteenth century to the outbreak of the First World War tells the story of an era of outward tranquillity that was also a period of economic growth, social transformation, political contention and scientific, and artistic innovation. During these years, the foundations of our present urban-industrial society were laid, the five Great Powers vied in peaceful and violent fashion for dominance in Europe and throughout the world, and the darker forces that were to dominate the twentieth century – violent nationalism, totalitarianism, racism, ethnic cleansing – began to make themselves felt. Jonathan Sperber sets out developments in this period across the entire European continent, from the Atlantic to the Urals, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean. To help students of European history grasp the main dynamics of the period, he divides the book into three overlapping sections covering the periods from 1850-75, 1871-95 and 1890-1914. In each period he identifies developments and tendencies that were common in varying degrees to the whole of Europe, while also pointing the unique qualities of specific regions and individual countries. Throughout, his argument is supported by illustrative material: tables, charts, case studies and other explanatory features, and there is a detailed bibliography to help students to explore further in those areas that interest them.
Book Synopsis The Sleepwalkers by : Christopher Clark
Download or read book The Sleepwalkers written by Christopher Clark and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of the Year Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 is historian Christopher Clark’s riveting account of the explosive beginnings of World War I. Drawing on new scholarship, Clark offers a fresh look at World War I, focusing not on the battles and atrocities of the war itself, but on the complex events and relationships that led a group of well-meaning leaders into brutal conflict. Clark traces the paths to war in a minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative that cuts between the key decision centers in Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris, London, and Belgrade, and examines the decades of history that informed the events of 1914 and details the mutual misunderstandings and unintended signals that drove the crisis forward in a few short weeks. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Christopher Clark’s The Sleepwalkers is a dramatic and authoritative chronicle of Europe’s descent into a war that tore the world apart.
