European Culture since 1848: from Modern to Postmodern and Beyond

Emerging from the growing convergence of intellectual and social history as well as the new interdisciplinary field of cultural studies, European Culture Since 1848 is designed for undergraduate students. The book offers a thematic survey of modern European culture and synthesizes new directions and interpretive debates. Winders explores the themes in clear and accessible language, making the book useful for courses in intellectual/cultural history and in the humanities more generally. This book is a wide ranging thematic study of modern European cultural history, including popular culture, with emphasis on the second half of the 20th century.
