Britain as a Model of Modern Society? German Views


 

ADEF BritMod

 

Has German curiosity about developments in Britain varied over time? To what extent has Britain's path into modernity been seen by Germans as a panacea or threat with regard to challenges and problems which they have been confronted with? Which dimensions and strands of Britain's development have been perceived as adaptable to Germany? Who has transferred knowledge about the British Isles to Germany? The volume is devoted to these questions. Case studies engage with recent debates on comparison and concepts of transfer and entangled history.
