Scandinavia in the Age of Revolution. Nordic Political Cultures 1740-1820 - Bregnsbo, Michael|Ihalainen, Pasi|Sennefelt, Karin|Winton, Patrik

Nordic political cultures, 1740-1820

KORTE INHOUD

The 'Age of Revolution' is a term seldom used in Scandinavian historiography, despite the fact that Scandinavia was far from untouched by the late eighteenth-century revolutions in Europe and America. Presenting the latest research on political culture in Scandinavia, this volume with twenty-seven contributions focuses on four key aspects: the crisis of monarchy; the transformation in political debate; the emerging influence of commercial interest in politics; and the shifting boundaries of political participation. Generously illustrated throughout, this book will introduce non-Scandinavian readers to developments in the Nordic countries during the late-eighteenth and early nineteenth-centuries and both complement and challenge research into the political cultures of Europe and America.
