In a major re-evaluation of the cultural, political, and sociological assumptions about the ""peculiar"" course of modern German history, the authors challenge the widely-held belief that Germany did not have a Western-style bourgeois revolution. Contending that it did indeed experience one, but that this had little to do with the mythical rising of the middle class, the authors provide a new context for viewing the tensions and instability of 19th-and early 20th-century Germany.Germany -- History -- 1789-1900 -- HistoriographyElectronic books.Germany -- History -- 1789-1900 -- Historiography.943.07Blackbourn David1949-218430Eley Geoff1949-140681AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910458025503321The Peculiarities of German History2033017UNINA
