Originally published in 1970, Germans and Jews brings together George L. Mosse's thoughts on a critical time in German history when thinkers on both the left and the right shared a common goal. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, intellectuals across the political spectrum aimed to solve the problems of contemporary society by creating a force that would eliminate both state Marxism and bourgeois society: a "third force" beyo...

First published in 1975, The Nationalization of the Masses is George L. Mosse's major statement about political symbols and the means of their diffusion. Focusing on Germany and, to a lesser degree, France and Italy, Mosse analyzes the role of symbols in fueling mass politics, mass movements, and nationalism in a way that is broadly applicable and as relevant today as it was almost fifty years ago. In this analysis Mosse introduces terms like ...

The Culture of Western Europe, George L. Mosse's sweeping cultural history, was originally published in 1961 and revised and expanded in 1974 and 1988.

At the outbreak of the First World War, an entire generation of young men charged into battle for what they believed was a glorious cause. Over the next four years, that cause claimed the lives of some 13 million soldiers--more than twice the number killed in all the major wars from 1790 to1914. But despite this devastating toll, the memory of the war was not, predominantly, of the grim reality of its trench warfare and battlefield carnage. Wh...

Jews were emancipated at a time when high culture was becoming an integral part of German citizenship. German Jews felt an urge to integrate, to find their Jewish substance in German culture. George Mosse argues that they did this by adopting the concept of Bildung, the idea of intellectual and moral self-cultivation.

Individuate le radici del razzismo nell'ambiente culturale illuministico, nel naturalismo scientifico come nel pietismo religioso, Mosse ne segue il diramarsi nei vari movimenti letterari, scientifici, politici nell'Europa dell'Ottocento e del Novecento, fino a ricostruire le tappe e i modi in cui i nazisti arrivarono alle esecuzioni in massa degli ebrei. Mosse è stato uno storico del nazismo e del fascismo, di cui ha contribuito a rinnovare l...

Mosse, one of the great American historians, finished writing his memoir, a fascinating account of a remarkable life that spanned three continents and many of the major events of the twentieth century. Confronting History is guided in part by his belief that "what man is, only history tells” and, most of all, by the importance of finding one's self through the pursuit of truth and thro...

La prima storia dell'Europa moderna nella quale la ricostruzione dei grandi avvenimenti pubblici si spiega con l'analisi del privato, e viceversa. Da tematiche affascinanti e sempre al centro della cronaca La virilità e omosessualità, donne e femminilità, guerra e bellezza, la riscoperta del corpo - muove un racconto storico di grande ampiezza, che spazia dall'iconografia alla letteratura, dai trattati di medicina alle leggi, dai discorsi poli...

Per tutti gli europei le guerre del Ventesimo secolo hanno rappresentato un'esperienza che ha lasciato un segno indelebile. Quali sono state le reazioni di questi uomini posti quotidianamente di fronte alla morte di massa? Come è stata elaborata l'insostenibile realtà della guerra? In che termini l'esperienza bellica ha mutato la mentalità comune? Un libro di storia, che piuttosto che ricostruire avvenimenti, date e fatti si occupa delle idee,...

Come è stato possibile che, nel cuore della vecchia Europa, persone "perbene", intelligenti e istruite abbiano aderito in massa alla causa del nazismo, abbracciandone i valori? Molti vedono nell'ideologia nazionalsocialista il prodotto di poche menti squilibrate, o una mera costruzione propagandistica per conquistare il consenso popolare. Ma l'ascesa di Hitler non fu un incidente della storia. Il Saggiatore ripropone al lettore italiano "Le or...

In quest'opera ormai classica, che Renzo De Felice ha paragonato all'"Autunno del Medioevo" di Huizinga e ai "Re taumaturghi" di Mare Bloch, Mosse ha inteso scoprire le radici lontane del nazismo, e misurare quanto esse hanno giocato sulla politica e l'organizzazione di massa dei regimi fascisti. I fenomeni di irreggimentazione così evidenti nella Germania hitleriana portano all'estremo un tipo di politica nei confronti delle masse che viene m...
