    [NT 15000229]: Nationalism and the Reshaping of Urban Communities in Europe, 1848 -1914 brings together a distinguished group of historians to explore the previously neglected relationship between nationalism and urban history. Until now, this theme has been largely ignored: writers on nationalism and on nineteenth-century towns have each tended to work in isolation. By bringing them together, this volume illuminates both subjects. It reveals the contrasting experiences of nationalism in different societies and milieus. It also exposes the ways in which nationalism helped to shape town life. Ranging from Sweden to Bohemia and from Venice to Barcelona, it offers a wide-ranging and compelling new view of nationalism.
