Germany and Europe: The Politics of Culture (Studies in German Literature Linguistics and Culture) - Hardcover

The essays contained in this volume arose from a DAAD conference at the University of Toronto and can be read as markers of a historic watershed in the development of a united Germany. Eberhard Lammert (Berlin) vividly portrays the challenge to the humanities in a society that is now summoned to redefine its political and cultural values. Other essays by Werner Meissner (Frankfurt am Main), Wilfried von Bredow (Marburg), and William Chandler (McMaster University) address primarily the political aspects of German and European unification. This thoughtful book will be of interest to cultural historians and political scientists as well.The essays contained in this volume arose from a DAAD conference at the University of Toronto and can be read as markers of a historic watershed in the development of a united Germany.
