Vol. II: National Romanticism - the Formation of National Movements The editors: Balazs Trencsenyi is Assistant Professor of History at the Central European University, Budapest. Michal Kopeček is Research Fellow at the Institute of Contemporary History, Prague. 67 texts, including hymns, manifestos, articles or extracts from lengthy studies examplify the relation between Romanticism and the national movements in the cultural space ranging from Poland to the Ottoman Empire.
