    • Gutes Ex.; Umschlag leicht berieben. - Englisch. - PAINTINGS and graphics, novels and poems are historical sources as well as aesthetic objects. Artists themselves become historians when they interpret the past-by painting a historical scene, for instance, or by discussing earlier times in a novel. Artists both reflect and shape their environment. These concepts underlie Peter Paret's new study of Germany in the nineteenth century. The book spans fifty years of German history, from the rise of liberalism in the 1830s to the Franco-Prussian War, German unification, and the fading of liberalism in the new empire. Each chapter treats one or more works of art or literature, and links their background, creation, and impact to the politics of the time.
