Historians and Nationalism

By Monika Baar

0 - Default Title
Description
Peripheral cultures have been largely absent from the European canon of historiography. Seeking to redress the balance, Monika Baár discusses the achievements of five East-Central European historians in the nineteenth century: Joachim Lelewel (Polish); Simonas Daukantas (Lithuanian); Franti&sek Palacký (Czech); Mihály Horváth (Hungarian) and Mihail Kog¿lniceanu (Romanian). Comparing their efforts to promote a unified vision of national culture in their respective countries, Baár illuminates the complexities of historical writing in the region in the nineteenth century.

Drawing on previously untranslated documents, Baár reconstructs the scholars' shared intellectual background and their nationalistic aims, arguing that historians on the European periphery made significant contributions to historical writing, and had far more in common with their Western and Central European contemporaries than has been previously assumed.
