Publisher Synopsis
"A new, important analysis of the significance of Jacob Burckhardt's writings, including a re-evaluation of his up-to-now underestimated writing on art history ... Hinde offers both new interpretations of specific issues that illuminate nineteenth-century history and a new synthetic view of Burckhardt and his role in the development of cultural history. This is quite an accomplishment." Harold Mah, Department of History, Queen's University "A lucid, accessible, and most engaging presentation." Donald A. Bailey, Department of History, University of Winnipeg Read more...
