The Idea of Europe Since 1914; The Legacy of

This book is about the history of Europe in the 20th century and concentrates on two particular aspects. First, it examines the impact of the Great War on Europe; secondly it is concerned with European civilization and with ideas of what is meant to be "European". The approach is interdisciplinary, including integrated analyses from politics, international relations, political ideas, literature, and the visual arts. The common focus, which links all the chapters, is the effect of the Great War on a European mentality, or European identity.

Menno Spiering is in the Department of European Studies at the University of Amsterdam.

Michael Wintle is Professor and Head of the Department of European Studies at the University of Hull.
