John Breuilly is Emeritus Professor of Nationalism and Ethnicity at the London School of Economics, UK. His books include Nationalism and the State (2nd Ed., 1993), The Formation of the First German Nation-State, 1800-1871 (1996), Austria, Prussia and The Making of Germany: 1806-1871 (2nd Ed., 2011). He is also the editor of The Oxford Handbook of the History of Nationalism (2013).

Over the course of the 19th century, the Germans forged a nation. Yet building the nation state was only one part of a process of reorganizing society and reconnecting people nationally and trans-nationally. With great conceptual clarity and a wealth of information, this book charts how the Germans made sense of the modern world that emerged around them.
