Description: "Twelve years have gone by since the passing of George L. Mosse, yet his work still provides essential tools for historical analysis, influences contemporary research, and points the way toward areas yet to be explored. The translation of his books into many languages has promoted the circulation of his work, making him one of the most widely read and known historians of modern European history, and the most influential and well-known non-Italian historian of modern Italian history. The contributors to this volume provide an essential re-examination of his huge historiographical production and an analysis of his influence in the context of Italian history. They investigate diachronically Mosse's main research topics and provide an in-depth analysis of his methodology, his intellectual network, and his cultural debts"--Provided by publisher.
