Between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, the idea that there existed a single German people, with its own lands, language and character, became increasingly widespread, as was expressed in written works of the period. This book - the first on its subject in any language - poses a challenge to some dominant assumptions of current historical scholarship: that early European nation-making inevitably took place within the developing structures of the institutional state; and that, in the absence of such structural growth, the idea of a German nation was uniquely, radically and fatally retarded. In recounting the formation of German identity in the late Middle Ages, this book offers an important new perspective both on German history and on European nation-making" -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: German questions -- Modern history: inventing the medieval German nation -- Ruled out: monarchy, government and 'state' in Germany -- Realm of imagination: communicating power after the Hohenstaufen -- Shades of a kingdom: in search of a German political community -- The matter of Rome: universalising political identities -- Roman empire, German nation: the German imperial tradition -- Trojans, Giants and other Germans: peoplehoods forgotten, remembered and relocated -- Rome's Barbarians: accounting for the Germans -- East: applying identities -- Being German (I): place and name -- Being German (II): language and locality -- Conclusion: Endings and beginnings. 650 0 $a National characteristics, German $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z Germany $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Germany $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Monarchy $z Germany $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Crises $z Germany $x History $y To 1500. 651 0 $a Germany $x Politics and government $y 1273-1517. 651 0 $a Germany $x History $y 1273-1517. 651 0 $a Germany $x Relations $z Holy Roman Empire. 651 0 $a Holy Roman Empire $x Relations $z Germany. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / General. $2 bisacsh 648 7 $a Geschichte 1245-1414 $2 gnd 650 7 $0 (DE-101)040412822 $0 (DE-101)040412822 $a Nationalbewusstsein $2 gnd 651 7 $0 (DE-101)040118827 $0 (DE-101)040118827 $a Deutschland $2 gnd 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017015152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=21B33BC42FDF11E3BFAB6AC6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
