Between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, the idea that there existed a single German people, with its own lands, language and character, became increasingly widespread, as was expressed in written works of the period. This book - the first on its subject in any language - poses a challenge to some dominant assumptions of current historical scholarship: that early European nation-making inevitably took place within the developing structures of the institutional state; and that, in the absence of such structural growth, the idea of a German nation was uniquely, radically and fatally retarded. In recounting the formation of German identity in the late Middle Ages, this book offers an important new perspective both on German history and on European nation-making.National characteristics, GermanHistoryTo 1500NationalismGermanyHistoryTo 1500Political cultureGermanyHistoryTo 1500MonarchyGermanyHistoryTo 1500CrisesGermanyHistoryTo 1500GermanyPolitics and government1273-1517GermanyHistory1273-1517GermanyRelationsHoly Roman EmpireHoly Roman EmpireRelationsGermanyNational characteristics, GermanHistoryNationalismHistoryPolitical cultureHistoryMonarchyHistoryCrisesHistory943/.02Scales Len1961-1037721UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910451978903321The shaping of German identity2458854UNINA
