Collected Works of George L. Mosse “The historian’s function must be to understand the myths that people live by, because these myths have often a tenuous link to reality, though they are placed within reality.” The Collected Works of George L. Mosse makes available for a new generation of scholars and students the indispensable work of a historian whose moral and intellectual clarity helped illuminate the conditions that gave rise to some of the modern world’s greatest catastrophes. George L. Mosse (1918–1999) was one of the twentieth century’s most provocatively original historians. Best known for his work on the origins of fascism, his thought ranged widely across modern European social, cultural, and political history. His systematic investigations of mass political movements were groundbreaking in the seriousness with which they attended to popular culture, opening the field of cultural history to new sources and methods. Resonating widely, his work helped inaugurate research into new and understudied fields including the new cultural history, the comparative study of fascism, the history of racism and antisemitism, the study of bourgeois respectability, the aesthetics of nationalism, modern Jewish history, and the history of gender and sexuality. Featured German Jews Beyond Judaism “Immensely stimulating, rich in information and insight. A master of surprising detail, Mosse maintains a broad vision that is ever alert to the moral questions and occasional light bequeathed to us by history. Confronting the Nation Jewish and Western Nationalism “Penetrating scholarly essays . . . [demonstrate] an easy mastery of cultural and political history.” Germans and Jews The Right, the Left, and the Search for a “Third Force” in Pre-Nazi Germany “A unified and extremely stimulating work.” Recent and Backlist Click the icon below the book image to add the title to your shopping cart.
