Applying a broad range of original sources this unique work will be key reading for students and researchers studying European History, European Studies, Political History and related fields.

Recensioner i media

“In this fine contribution to a currently very topical field, Andrén’s approach is to contrast the dreams of European unity with the tensions and borders and differences within Europe; he maintains that they are both essential elements of the history of the idea of Europe … [and focuses] on ideas and attitudes and notions of civilization across the continent. One outstanding and very welcome feature is the detailed and analytical attention to an unusually wide range of primary sources.” • Michael Wintle, University of Amsterdam
