Race, Science, and the Nation: Reconstructing the Ancient Past in Britain, France and Germany - Routledge Studies in Cultural History 1. Ausgabe

This book shows how scholars in nineteenth-century Britain, France and Germany reconstructed their deepest national pasts: the Germanic, Celtic and prehistoric periods. It traces how fields such as archeology, philology, ethnology and anthropology developed around these studies and shaped new meanings for concepts of race, social development and nationality.
