Political Friendship approaches 19th century German history’s trajectory to unification through the lens of academics, journalists, and artists who formed close personal relationships with one another and with powerful state leaders. Michael Weaver argues that German liberals thought with their friends by demonstrating the previously neglected aspects of political friendship were central to German political culture.Studies in German History SeriesFriendshipGermanyHistory19th centuryIntellectualsPolitical activityGermanyHistory19th centuryPolitical cultureGermanyHistory19th centuryHISTORY / Europe / GermanybisacshFriendshipHistoryIntellectualsPolitical activityHistoryPolitical cultureHistoryHISTORY / Europe / Germany.943.076Weaver Michael, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1741918German Historical Institute, Washington D.C.fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996589772603316Political Friendship4168356UNISA
