The Encyclopaedia is organized in an alphabetical sequence of entries! each of which includes a short bibliography for further reading. The reader will find in-depth discussions of the work of modern theoreticians of nationalism.The defining figures of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries including Herder! Rousseau! Fichte! Marx! and Renan. Conceptual entries! are treated historically and sociologically.
