More about the book
The book explores the evolution of historical thought in the cultural landscapes of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, highlighting a shift from historicism to a modernist detachment from history. Schorske argues that while the nineteenth century was characterized by a deep engagement with the past across various intellectual and artistic fields, the twentieth century embraced a more autonomous cultural space. This transition reflects different approaches to addressing modernity's challenges, shaping European civilization amid industrial capitalism and mass politics.
