The German Empire was founded in triumph in 1871 and crashed in disaster at the end of the First World War. Imperial Germany focuses on the domestic political developments of the period, putting them into context through a balanced guide of economic and social background, culture and foreign policy. It explores the tension caused within an empire that was formed through war, against the prevailing liberal spirit of the age. Recent debates on the topic are made accessible to English-speaking readers, and the book summarizes the important controversies and competing interpretations of imper

This magisterial work explores how Renaissance Germans understood and experienced madness. It focuses on the insanity of the world in general but also on specific disorders; examines the thinking on madness of theologians, jurists, and physicians; and analyzes the vernacular ideas that propelled sufferers to seek help in pilgrimage or newly founded hospitals for the helplessly disordered. In the process, the author uses the history of madness as a lens to illuminate the history of the Renaissance, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, the history of poverty and social welfare, and the histo

Why did German states make it so difficult for foreigners who were not ethnic Germans to become citizens? Was this policy a product of national feeling, and was it shaped by the more state-centered goals of the political elite? Did Nazi citizenship policies perpetuate, or break with, actions of earlier German states? Because Germans felt a cultural attachment to other ethnic Germans, it has traditionally been argued, German states welcomed immigration of ethnic Germans and prevented naturalization of "foreign" individuals. But ethnicity was, in reality, far from the only criteria employed to d
