European Culture Since 1848: From Modern to Postmodern and Beyond

Emerging from the convergence of intellectual history and cultural studies, European Culture Since 1848 is the first book that meets the challenge of the new cultural history by offering a thematic survey of modern European culture that synthesizes new directions and interpretive debates. James Winders explores the themes in clear and accessible language and fills a longstanding need for a wide-ranging, thematic study of modern European cultural history, including popular culture, with long-overdue emphasis on the second half of the 20th century.
