Yet they also open up large and revealing issues for professional historians, shedding light on how societies conceptualize and understand their pasts.1 This article explores the way that British public discourse has grappled with the First and Second World Wars. At the heart of the British problem with these two defining conflicts of the twentieth century is an inability to construct a positive, teleological metanarrative of their overall ‘meaning’. By exploring this theme through historiography and memorialization, it is possible not merely to illuminate Britain’s self-understanding of its twentieth-century history, but also to shed light on the country’s contorted relationship with ‘Europe’, evident in party politics and public debate right down to the ‘Brexit’ referendum of 2016. The concept of mastering the past ( Vergangenheitsbewältigung ) originated in post-1945 West Germany as that country tried to address the horrendous legacies of Nazism.

  • History 80020 – Literature Survey – European History Tuesdays, 6:30-8
    History 80020 – Literature Survey – European History Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30pm (classroom TBA) Professor Steven Remy ([email protected]) Weekly office hour: Tuesdays 5-6 (room TBA) This course has two purposes: (1) to introduce you to recent scholarship on the major events, themes, and historiographical debates in European history from the Enlightenment to the present; and (2) to prepare you to take the written exam in this field. Each week you will read - and come to class prepared to summarize and discuss - a different title. The titles are assigned below. Each student will write a 700-900 word summary of the book s/he has been assigned and bring a paper copy for me and for each of his/her classmates. I will determine your final course grade as follows: 60% book summaries and 40% in class discussions. Written book summary and class participation requirements are found at the end of the syllabus. A word about the titles I’ve selected: I have selected high-quality scholarship reflecting the temper and direction of current research on and methodological approaches to modern European history. I have also emphasized literature that situates European developments in global contexts. An expanded list of titles for further reading is attached to the syllabus. In addition to keeping up with scholarly journals in your area of interest, I encourage you to stay current by tracking reviews and debates in the following publications: Journal of Modern History, The New York Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, the London Review of Books, aldaily.com, H-Net reviews, The Nation, Jewish Review of Books, and Chronicle of Higher Education book reviews.

  • H-German Forum -- First World War -- Afflerbach (December 2014)
    H-German ANN: H-German Forum -- First World War -- Afflerbach (December 2014) Discussion published by Laura Hilton on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 H-GERMAN Forum: The Outbreak of the First World War Holger Afflerbach, University of Leeds The First World War has garnered significant attention in the last decade. It is not a neglected field. In normal years, a constant stream of research is published on all conceivable aspects of the subject. Now, around the centenary of 2014, this stream has become a veritable flood, and new books have appeared by the dozens. Authors and publishers did not wait for the centenary of the outbreak of the war; neither did they limit themselves on only the July crisis. The boom started in 2012 and created a real avalanche of paper. The Special Page on the First World War of the Frankfurter Rundschau alone lists 26 new titles with approximately 17,000 printed pages and these are solely German books or books available in German translation.[1] I expect that the process of a centenary commemoration, which caused this wave of publications, will go on, albeit in changing intensity, until 2018/19 when it will reach the centenary of the end of the war and the peace settlements. Only then will it go back to “normal” research and writing activity. I am also writing a book on the First World War and, therefore, I am a potential contributor to this mountain of paper, as well as a consumer of all these new books. Therefore, I accepted the kind invitation by H-German to answer the question regarding how I think these publications will influence our understanding of the July crisis and the First World War, and how the debate will continue from here on.

  • Converting Bohemia: Force and Persuasion in the Catholic Reformation Howard Louthan Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88929-2 - Converting Bohemia: Force and Persuasion in the Catholic Reformation Howard Louthan Frontmatter More information CONVERTING BOHEMIA Prior to the Thirty Years War, almost all of Bohemia’s population lay outside the Catholic fold yet by the beginning of the eighteenth century the kingdom was clearly under Rome’s influence. Few regions in Europe’s history have ever experienced such a complete religious transformation; because of this, Bohemia offers a unique window for examining the Counter-Reformation and the nature of early modern Catholicism. Converting Bohemia presents the first full assessment of the Catholic church’s re-establishment in the Czech lands, arguing that this complex phenomenon was less a product of violence and force than of negotiation and persuasion. Ranging from art, architec- ture and literature to music, philosophy and hagiography, Howard Louthan’s study reintegrates the region into the broader European world where it played such a prominent role in the early modern period. It will be of particular interest to scholars of early modern European history, religion, and Reformation studies. howard louthan is Associate Professor in the History Department, University of Florida. He is the author of The Quest for Compromise: Peacemakers in Counter-Reformation Vienna (Cambridge, 1997). © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88929-2 - Converting Bohemia: Force and Persuasion in the Catholic Reformation Howard Louthan Frontmatter More

  • The British Centennial Commemoration of the First World War
    Comillas Journal of International Relations | nº 02 | 001-015 [2015] [ISSN 2386-5776] 1 THE BRITISH CENTENNIAL COMMEMORATION OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR La conmemoración británica del centenario de la Primera Guerra Mundial Edward M. Spiers University of Leeds Autores Faculty of Arts [email protected] This article reviews the course and development of British planning to commemorate the First World War. It highlights the fact that any commentary on that war in Britain has to take ac- Abstract count of the prevailing cultural norms. These norms have evolved through much of the poetry, literature, theatre and film of the past century, and have come to represent the war as essen- tially futile, with an horrendous loss of life, best commemorated through the annual acts of remembrance for the fallen. As this national memory paid scant attention to the many works of revisionist military history written over the last generation, military historians were among the more sceptical when the UK government belatedly announced plans (and derisory levels of go- vernment funding) to commemorate the First World War. However, the Heritage Lottery Fund has filled the funding gap with £57 million, enabling all manner of projects to flourish whether of national, regional or local significance. By 4-5 August 2014, over 2,330 events, including 519 exhibitions, had been held, and numerous events marked the outbreak of the war. Poppies were again to the fore, most notably the 800,000 ceramic poppies, one for each fallen serviceman, at the Tower of London.
