Seeking to redress the balance, Monika Baar discusses the achievements of five East-Central European historians in the nineteenth century: Joachim Lelewel (Polish); Simonas Daukantas (Lithuanian); Frantisek Palacky (Czech); Mihaly Horvath (Hungarian) and Mihail Kogalniceanu (Romanian). Comparing their efforts to promote a unified vision of national culture in their respective countries, Baar illuminates the complexities of historical writing in the region in the nineteenth century.Oxford historical monographs.HistoriographyEurope, CentralHistory19th centuryHistoriographyEurope, EasternHistory19th centuryNationalismEurope, CentralHistory19th centuryNationalismEurope, EasternHistory19th centuryEurope, CentralHistoriographyEurope, EasternHistoriographyHistoriographyHistoryHistoriographyHistoryNationalismHistoryNationalismHistory940.072947.007215.01bclBaár Monika1535488MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792256303321Historians and nationalism3783749UNINA
