Reviews
"A very readable and insightful introduction." European History Quarterly "Nineteenth-Century Europe's reworking of familiar textbook themes in the light of recent cultural history will doubtless win it a place on many reading lists." English Historical Review "[Hannu's] survey manages to compress a good range of concisely expressed insights into its limited compass. Among the most noteable features are its astute use of literary quotation and its consistent concern with the differences between male and female perceptions of the social and intellectual developments at issue ... it is also enlived by what most anglophone readers will encounter as some refreshingly unfamiliar citations of Finnish evidence." History "This concise but wide-ranging essay on the cultural history of nineteenth-century Europe is lucid, fluent, and written in an attractive, personal way, illustrating many arguments from well-known works of literature. The author's recurrent use of Finnish examples offers something new to readers from other parts of Europe." Peter Burke, University of Cambridge "Hannu Salmi's ambitious, brilliantly synthesized book on the innumerable cultural histories that constitute nineteenth-century Europe is to be recommended to specialists and non-specialists alike. Above all, its cosmopolitanism, and its vital attention to everyday lives as well as to the world-historical events that ultimately motivate them, make it an indispensable, and highly readable, introduction to this important field of scholarship." Matthew Beaumont, University College, London "This book is a thoughtful, well written and clear alternative to the standard textbook treatment of nineteenth century Europe. Unified in its vision, instead of the grand political narrative, it offers a rich survey of the perceptions and meanings that Europeans developed to make sense of a changing world. Salmi uses popular fiction of the day particularly well to illustrate his themes of modernization and its attendant anxieties." Lenard R. Berlanstein, University of Virginia, "This concise but wide-ranging essay on the cultural history of nineteenth-century Europe is lucid, fluent, and written in an attractive, personal way, illustrating many arguments from well-known works of literature.

Ok so I ordered this item listed as having free shipping. It was listed at $43.54 with free shipping. Somehow I ended up being charged $65.52. Then after waiting 3 weeks and having absolutely no tracking information I spoke with the seller who agreed to send a replacment, but despite charging me extra money was unwilling to ship that replacment in a way that wouldn't take atleast 3 more weeks. Ultimately this was a complete waste of time and the seller is not one that I would recommend.

This is not a coloring book!!!!! It’s just a book of black and white photos and even if colored over would look horrible! This book is a scam and I have received 2 items out of 3 I ordered and the third hasn’t even been shipped. Tried to message seller but only option given is to send the item number but no way to give reason for dissatisfaction with item! I would advise not ordering anything from this seller…
