National Thought in Europe

Bringing together sources from many countries and many centuries, this study critically analyses the growth of national thought and of nationalism – from medieval ethnic prejudice to the Romantic belief in a nation’s ‘soul’.



"Joep Leerssen has written a wide-ranging, lucid, concise and elegant essay that replaces the many European nationalisms in their cultural contexts. It should appeal to students and tell their teachers something new as well."
