Inhaltsangabe
In this provocative, wide-ranging history of how the continent of Europe came to be conceived as divided into ?Western Europe” and ?Eastern Europe,” the author shows that it was not a natural distinction, or even an innocent one, but instead was a work of cultural creation, of intellectual artifice, of ideological self-interest and self-promotion.

?Thought-provoking and well written, . . . Wolff s book provides a valuable treatment of the ways in which ?Enlightened thinkers conceive of the lands east of the Elbe. . . . A very welcome contribution to both the history of the Enlightenment and the Western understanding of Eastern Europe. ?The Russian Review
?The distinction between East and West Europe is a seemingly immemorial cliché that desperately needs dismantling, and Wolff does it with erudition and a lively dramatic sense. ?Voice Literary Supplement

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This is a wide-ranging intellectual history of how, in the eighteenth century, Europe came to be conceived as divided into 'Western Europe' and 'Eastern Europe'. The author argues that this conceptual reorientation from the previously accepted 'Northern' and 'Southern' was a work of cultural construction and intellectual artifice created by the philosophes of the Enlightenment. He shows how the philosophes viewed the continent from the perspective of Paris and deliberately cultivated an idea of the backwardness of 'Eastern Europe' the more readily to affirm the importance of 'Western Europe'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GOR009688453
