The Origins of the Authoritarian Welfare State in Prussia
A study of the temperament of Prussian conservatives, and their approaches to social problems and the lower classes
Freedom and Religion in the Nineteenth Century
The subject of religious liberty in the nineteenth century has been defined by a liberal narrative that has prevailed since Mill and Macaulay to Trevelyan and Commager, to name only a few philosophers and historians who wrote in English. Underlying this narrative is a noble dream--liberty for every person, guaranteed by democratic states that promote social progress though not interfering with those broadly defined areas of life, including religion, that are properly the preserve of free individuals. At the end of the twentieth century, however, it becomes clear that religious liberty requires a more comprehensive, subtle, and complex definition than the liberal tradition affords, one that c...
Rethinking the Weimar Republic
“McElligott's impressive mastery of an enormous body of research guides him on a distinctive path through the dense thickets of Weimar historiography to a provocative new interpretation of the nature of authority in Germany's first democracy.” Sir Ian Kershaw, Emeritus Professor of Modern History at the University of Sheffield, UK This study challenges conventional approaches to the history of the Weimar Republic by stretching its chronological-political parameters from 1916 to 1936, arguing that neither 1918 nor 1933 constituted distinctive breaks in early 20th-century German history.

This Companion is a significant addition to this body of scholarship with the emphasis very much on the present and future. Questions of continuity remain a vital and necessary line of historical enquiry and while it may have been short-lived, the Kaiserreich remains central to modern German and European history. The volume allows 25 experts, from acro...

Alltag und Lebenswelt von heimatlosen Armen
Das Alltagsleben der sozialen Unterschichten im 19. Jahrhundert in Westfalen am Beispiel der sogenannten Landarmen ist Thema dieser Arbeit. Diese rechtlich heimatlosen Bedürftigen wurden auf Grundlage des preußischen Armenpflegegesetzes vom 31. Dezember 1842 von der jeweiligen Provinz als Arme des Landes unterstützt. Ausgangspunkt der mikrogeschichtlichen Studie waren die knapp 1000 erhaltenen Insassenakten des Landarmenhauses der Provinz Westfalen, das von 1844 bis 1891 in Benninghausen bei Lippstadt bestand. Diese Akten enthalten nicht nur behördliche Dokumente, sondern auch eine Vielzahl von biografischen Schriftstücken und Selbstzeugnissen der Landarmen. Durch diese einzigartigen, h...
