Best known as the author of the popular novel Soll und Haben (1855), Freytag represented the views of a generation of National Liberals in the debate over Jewish assimilation, political reform in Prussia, and German unification. This new study places Freytag in his proper political and social context as a member of an elite of academic historians and liberal publicists who promoted German unification. Alongside colleagues like Theodor Mommsen and Heinrich von Treitschke, Freytag worked to create a progressive, Prussian historical myth for the new Germany. Although the author addresses Freytag's well-earned reputation for anti-Jewish prejudice, the primary focus of the work is to explore the mental world of a significant, but often overlooked, German historian. Focusing upon Gustav Freytag as a §16§representative figure, this book explores the contribution of the German history profession to German liberalism and political culture. §02§The Author: Larry L. Ping is professor of European history at Southern Utah University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Oregon in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49166448558307,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":106.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9783039105458-1.jpg?v=1788428079","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9783039105458","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
