Nineteenth-Century Europe: 5 Paperback – 5 October 2005
Purchase options and add-ons
A core introductory textbook that provides students with an overview of the key issues in Europe's 'long nineteenth century', from the French Revolution in 1789 until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Telling the story of how Europeans entered politics in the fiery trials of revolution and industrialization, the text opens with the French Revolution, passes through the crucible of the 1848 Revolutions and ends with the emergence of mass movements - socialist, revolutionary, nationalist and authoritarian - which anticipated those of the twentieth century.
This is an ideal text for modules on Modern European History or Nineteenth-Century Europe which may be offered at all levels of an undergraduate History or European Studies degree. In addition it is a crucial resource for students who may be studying nineteenth-century Europe for the first time as part of a taught postgraduate degree in Modern History or European Studies.

From the Back Cover
Along the way, Michael Rapport describes how people experienced the changes which affected European society, including:
- poverty and living conditions
- the abolition of serfdom (particularly in Russia)
- the changing status and role of women
- the expansion of education and literacy
- the growth of popular culture.
Rapport also considers international developments such as:
- warfare
- the unifications of Italy and Germany
- the emergence of new states in the Balkans
- the origins of the First World War
- European imperialism across the globe.
Paying attention to all of the major powers, but also to others, particularly Spain, Italy and the Balkan states, this is an ideal introduction for all those interested in the history of Europe in the nineteenth century.

5.0 out of 5 stars the long century
Verified PurchaseI purchased this book as the text for a course I have not yet taken (Scheduled to start in late August.) I am sure it is a comprehensive, excellent book of the period. Print is small, margins are small. But this gives a smaller book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Western European-centred narrative
Verified PurchaseA very dense book, great if you want lots of information and event narration in one tome. Whilst I prefer more spread out and country-by-country or event monographs, it's a really good introduction if you want to know the basis of a given event. Naturally, as is the case with most English historical books, bar Norman Davies, the author seems to place a blanked out, vacuum between the German-speaking states and the Russian Empire, with a mere mention of the Great Polish Uprising of 1848, or the November and January Uprisings. That being said, for a Western European-centred history degree or mind, it's not a bad deal.
