Sociability and civic spirit in northern Europe
practicing patriotism in the age of Enlightenment
xii, 263 pages : illustrations, maps, facsimiles ; 24 cm.
This monograph presents the first coherent investigation of the patriotic societies in a large, European multinational and multilingual realm. Its comparative outlook situates the intellectual and cultural developments in the Nordic countries as an integral part of the European Enlightenment. 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.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-252) and index.
