by David Avrom Bell
- 1 Want to read
"Using eighteenth-century France as a case study, David Bell offers an important new argument about the origins of nationalism. Before the eighteenth century, the very idea of nation-building - a central component of nationalism - did not exist. During this period, leading French intellectual and political figures came to see perfect national unity as a critical priority, and so sought ways to endow all French people with the same language, laws, customes, and values.
The period thus gave rise to the first large-scale nationalist program in history."--BOOK JACKET.
