Opis

European Universities from the Enlightenment to 1914 is an authoritative and unique work. Though patronized by a social elite, universities before 1914 were not ivory towers, but reflected the political and social conflicts of their day. Anderson combines chapters on national university systems (including Britain) with a searching and far-ranging discussion of more general themes. The book is an essential contribution both to modern European history, and to understanding the background of contemporary university problems.
