| Summary: | This monograph presents the first coherent investigation of the patriotic societies in a large, European multinational and multilingual realm.

Furthermore, it offers new perspectives on tensions between patriotism, nationalism and universal values as they developed during the Enlightenment, as well as how freedom, the buzzword of the Enlightenment, implied new forms of discipline and marginalization. |
