Quote from book, "'Dieter Langewiesche's study of liberalism in Germany has established itself as a concise and authoritative treatment of the subject...especially on the role of individual German states, the local roots of liberalism, the lings between liberalism and its social bases of support, especially from bourgeois groups, and the fors of political organization adopted by liberals.' - John Breuily, University of Birmingham In the nineteenth century, German liberalism grew into a powerful political movement, vociferous in its demands for the freedom of the individual, for changes to allow the participation of all men in political system, and for a fundamental reform of the German states. As elsewhere in Europe, liberalism was linked not only with strong social commitment, but also to the formation of a national state. In this book - originally published in German, and now available for the first time in English - Dieter Langewiesche analyzes the foundation and development of liberalism from the late eighteenth century to the late twentieth century. He considers the particular nature of liberalism in Germany, its centrality to our understanding of the course of modern German history, and he questions and analyzed the role liberalism has played in the German path to modernity. He asks whether the creation of the German nation-state in 1871 was, in fact, the work of the liberals and how important a role liberalism has since had in the creation of a democratic society in the Federal Republic of Germany after the Second World War. While political movements, their values and organization, are central to Langewiesche's study, he also links these to their social and cultural context. Langewiesche addresses issues fundamental to an understanding of liberalism in German and the formation of the modern German state. Dieter Langewiesche is Professor of Modern history at the university of Tubingen, Vice-Rector of the university of Erfurt, and Dean of the Faculty of philosophy."
