A Half-Century of Greatness paints a vivid and dramatic picture of the creative thought of mid- to late nineteenth century Europe and the influence of the unsuccessful revolutions of 1848. It reveals often unexpected links between novelists, poets, and philosophers from England, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia, and Ukraine-especially Dickens, Carlyle, Mill, the Brontës, and George Eliot; Hegel, Strauss, Feuerbach, Marx, Engels, Wagner, and several German poets; the Hungarian poet Sándor Petöfi; Gogol, Dostoevsky, Bakunin, and Herzen in RussiaRomanticismEuropeRevolutionsEuropeHistory19th centuryEuropeIntellectual life19th centuryEuropeHistory1848-1849EuropeHistory1789-19001848.Europe.Greatness.Half-Century.Revolutions.century.creative.dramatic.influence.late.mid-.nineteenth.paints.picture.thought.unsuccessful.vivid.RomanticismRevolutionsHistory940.2/8Ewen Frederic1899-1988.445160Wollock Jeffrey L315203Ewen Frederic1899-1988.445160MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781913703321A half-century of greatness3782278UNINA
