Over eeuwwenden, liberale burgerij en geschiedschrijving.

De tien hier gebundelde essays (op drie na alle geschreven in de jaren negentig) zijn onderverdeeld in vier rubrieken. De eerste rubriek heeft tot onderwerp het historisch besef en de geschiedwetenschap rond 1800. Aan de orde komen de veranderingen binnen het historisch besef onder invloed van de revolutie en de eeuwwende; vervolgens worden de ontwikkelingen binnen de vaderlandse geschiedschrijving beschreven in de politiek roerig periode na Wagenaar en ten slotte komt Tollens ter sprake in wiens ‘verzetpoëzie’ de nostalgische dimensie van het toenmalig historisch besef helder naar voren komt. Ook de tweede rubriek bevat een drietal essays.

Allereerst worden de bijdragen van de Romantiek aan het historisch denken belicht, vervolgens wordt getoond op welke wijze in de burgerlijke eeuw door onderscheiden liberale groeperingen van de geschiedenis gebruik gemaakt werd en ten slotte wordt aandacht besteed aan de (recente) herwaardering van de negentiende eeuw en haar liberale burgerij. De laatste twee rubrieken betreffen expliciet de geschiedenis der geschiedschrijving.

Het eerste artikel van de derde rubriek behandelt de niet te stuiten mythische canonisering van Willem van Oranje in de wetenschappelijke geschiedschrijving rond 1900, het tweede richt de aandacht op de laatste stadhouder, zijn negatieve reputatie en de spaarzame pogingen dat beeld in gunstige zin te corrigeren. Van één burgerlijk (liberaal) geschiedbeeld is nimmer sprake geweest. Arnold Toynbee en Pieter Geyl waren beiden ‘burgerlijke’ historici, die na de Eerste Wereldoorlog een totaal tegengestelde richting uitgingen in hun geschiedschrijving. Over dit onderwerp gaat de laatste rubriek.

Great book, the battle descriptions should've been more detailed
Format: Hardcover
The book looks great, both the dust jacket and the book cover are printed with the cover image. The dust jacket is textured with a matte finish and shiny silver text, while the book cover looks exactly like the front cover image provided here on Amazon (with a glossy finish). In my opinion, the dust jacket looks better. The book itself looks great. The texts are a bit too short for my taste though, as I would've like to read more detailed descriptions of each battle. Read the sample of the Battle of Marathon that's provided here. It will give you a good idea of the level of detail provided for each battle. Also, some of the battles that didn't get the full 2 page treatment were, in my opinion, significant and were deserving of getting it (Battle of Kadesh for example), while some less significant battles did get it, oddly enough. All in all, I'd definitely recommend the book, but it does have a few shortcomings mentioned above. PS. Also, Amazon, please work on your packaging. Add a few of those (styro)foam pieces with the book or something. My book did arrive mostly ok, and mostly unscathed, but when I picked up the package, the book was moving freely inside the banged up package. I'd say I got lucky it didn't get damaged too badly (apart from a few minor impact traces -- I'd say condition it arrived in was 9/10).

Very good book with a few minor flaws
Format: Hardcover
As most books published under the DK banner, this is a visually excellent book that is a pleasure to look at. It is well written and chock-full of outstanding illustrations and maps. I do have a few minor "ding" though. First, I think that the book should have included a "why" the battle changed history. While in most cases, this rationale is included in the text, in a few cases one has to wonder "why" this battle was important; for example, they chose the World War I battle of Verdun, but they also said that the battle was "inconclusive"; if so, how did it change history? Second, I have to question the choice of some of the battles. For example, the editors list "Arnhem", which ended up as a costly allied failure, but fail to mention the wildly successful Soviet "Operation Bagration", which destroyed the German Army Group Center. Third, there were some minor factual inaccuracies. The battles of Passchendaele and Dunkirk were both shown on a map as being located in Northern Italy instead of northern France, while Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of France, was shown on a map as being more at Pas de Calais vice the beaches of Normandy. In spite of these nits, this is a good book worthy of belonging in you library. Four stars.

Awesome Book for lovers of history and battles.
Format: Hardcover
This book is a great addition for a history lover or a military history lover. It would make a nice coffee table book too. Information is arranged in an easy to understand grouping throughout the book. Illustrations add to the book too. It is a heavy well made book.
