Book Title: Whose Love of Which Country? (Studies in the History of Political Thought) Book Author: Balazs Trencsenyi (Editor), Marton Zaszkaliczky (Editor) Series: Studies in the History of Political Thought (Book 3) Hardcover: 784 pages Publisher: BRILL (March 8, 2010) Language: English ISBN-10: 9004182624 ISBN-13: 978-9004182622 Book Description Contributors to this volume seek to reconsider the heritage of discourses of patriotism and national allegiance in East Central Europe between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. It results from an international research project, “The Intellectual History of Patriotism and the Legacy of Composite States in East Central Europe,” which brought together scholars to discuss the problem of patriotism in the light of the many levels of ethnic, cultural and political allegiances characterizing East Central Europe in early modern times. The authors analyze the complex process of the formation, reception and transmission of early modern discourses of collective identity in a regional context. Along these lines, the contributors also seek to reconfigure the geographical focus of scholarship on this topic and integrate the Eastern European contexts into the broader European discussion.

Reviews [Whose Love of Which Country] not only maintains a high quality in the twenty-five studies which thematically cover the expanse of Central and East Central Europe from Poland, The Bohemian lands and Hungary through to the states of former Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria, but also sustains a unifying theme - the perception of "nation" in the period before nineteenth-century nationalism, the time designated as the Early Modern Period. [...] A new foundation for future cooperation has been laid [...].Jiří Hrbek, , Vol. 25 (2011), pp. 306-316 The volume [...] makes an important contribution to the research into a chronological and geographical sector of the history of political ideas that until very recently has been almost completely neglected.Iva Manova, Universa.
