Of all the parts of the world to interest the Victorians, Germany was among the most important. Though less well known today, partly in consequence of the events of the twentieth century, German influences in Britain were strong, and their legacy substantial. This book charts the emergence, development and course of the Victorian interest in Germany. Its multidisciplinary approach, which binds together for the first time the latest research conducted in a variety of areas, shows how a discourse developed in Britain regarding Germany and the Germans which spilled over from one area of life to another, and included some of the most prominent figures in Victorian life. It provides a framework for understanding the causes of the Victorian fascination with Germany, and argues forcefully that the roots of this lay in the processes of modernisation taking place in each place respectively. It also points to the deep impact this had upon the course of British history and reveals how it prepared the ground for the future direction of Anglo-German relations.
«Er [Der Autor] hat...eine Studie vorgelegt, welche sich als vorbildlich bezeichnen lässt, weil sie gleichermaßen Selektionsprozesse, Vermittlungsprozesse und Rezeptionsprozesse analysiert.» (Burkhart Lauterbach, Bayerisches Jahrbuch für Volkskunde)
«It has long been recognised that British interest in Germany in the nineteenth century was substantial and significant, and many detailed studies have appeared on aspects of it. It is striking, however, that a very few books have attempted to give general introductory account of it for the non-expert reader. This is the gap that John R. Davis has sought to fill in this full and useful account.» (Jonathan Parry, Sehepunkte)
