The Culture of Western Europe Since 1848 : From Modern to Postmodern and Beyond

Emerging from the growing combination of intellectual and social history as well as the new interdisciplinary field of cultural studies, "The Culture of Western Europe since 1848" is designed for undergraduate students and seeks to meet the challenge of the new cultural history by offering a thematic survey of modern European culture that synthesizes new directions and interpretative debates.

James Winders explores the themes in clear and accessible language which makes the book useful for use in courses in intellectual/cultural history and in the Humanities generally.

This book provides a wide ranging thematic study of modern European cultural history, including popular culture, with emphasis on the second half of the 20th century.
