Discourses of Collective Identity in Central and Eastern Europe (1770 - 1945) |

texts and commentaries |
Vol. I | Vol. II | Vol. III | Vol. IV |
This series of four books,
published by the
Central European University Press, is the outcome of a
long-term project carried out by a group of scholars at the
Centre for
Advanced Study Sofia. It contains the most important texts that shaped the
processes of nation-building in Central and Southeast Europe. The series
aims to integrate the history of these cultures with that of general
European civilization. Thus it counteracts the habit whereby European
intellectual phenomena and historical movements are generally analyzed where
they originated and experienced their earliest and most intensive
development while the peculiar manifestations of these currents in the
'Other Europe' are neglected. The structure of the book and its inherent comparative perspective endeavors to go beyond individual national histories and offer a regionally sensitive framework of interpretation. The pieces range from poems to essays, from (extracts of) academic treatises to letters. Each excerpt is accompanied by a presentation of the author, and by an analysis of the context in which the respective text was born. Editorial
