Region and state in nineteenth-century Europe : Nation-building, regional identities and separatism

Bok av J. (EDT) Augusteijn och H. (EDT) Storm

In thirteen stimulating essays, specialists analyze why regional identities became widely celebrated towards the end of that century and why some considered themselves part of the new national self-image.
