"Modern Europe 1789-Present is an innovative history. As the narrative of big events that have shaped the Europe of today is clearly unfolded, Modern Europe also reaches deep beneath the political surface to examine how European society and culture have influenced, or been influenced by, these developments. It traces the emergence, from the French Revolution onwards, of a distinctive sense of Europe and Europeanness. At the same time it explores the growth and impact of the new phenomenon of the nation state - one of the nineteenth-century Europe's most powerful legacies to our own time."-- Provided by publisher
