Romanticism and Revolt
"Th French Revolution and its sequel in Napoleonic imperialism disrupted the historic continuity of European society and shattered most of its traditions. All the significant problems of the period arise out of these events, which even determined the attitudes adopted towards the steadily - expanding Industrial Revolution. This break in continuity engendered a quest for new patterns of interpretation - nationalism, socialism, vast philosophical systems like those of Marx and Hegel, a new conceptions of history, literary and artistic ideas, all of them strands in the web of romanticism. The revolution of 1848, which took place in almost every European country, is the natural climax of this study. It was the culmination of the political and social unrest of the time - of the struggle between the aristocracy and the middle classes, the conflict between the bourgeoisie and the rising proletariat, the movements for national liberation and reunion. And in the event it confounded all the protagonists and compelled a reappraisal of ideals and a realignment of forces". - Publisher.
Myth of the Nation and Vision of Revolution
In what may well rank as the finest political and intellectual history of the twentieth century, the late J. L. Talmon explores the origins of the schism within European society between the totalitarians of Right and Left as well as the split between an acceptance of the historical national community as the natural political and social framework and the vision of a socialist society achieved by a universal revolutionary breakthrough. This, the third and final volume of Talmon's history of the modern world, brings to bear the resources of his incisive scholarship to examine the workings of the ironies of totalitarianism as well as the resources of democracy.
