Irene Collins, Lecturer in History at the University of Liverpool, presents a rigorous and illuminating study that chronicles the rise, evolution, and contradictions of liberal thought across a continent in flux, tracing how ideals of individual freedom, constitutional government, and economic liberty took root and were tested against the pressures of nationalism, class conflict, and imperial ambition.\n\nCollins argues with admirable clarity that liberalism was never a monolithic creed but a dynamic and contested force, shaped differently by the distinct political cultures of France, Germany, Italy, and beyond. Her authoritative prose cuts through the complexity of the era with precision and scholarly confidence, illustrating how the liberal project both galvanised and ultimately fragmented European political life. A work of enduring historical significance, this volume leaves the reader questioning whether the unresolved tensions of that century still quietly echo in the political landscapes of today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609695719643,"sku":"2026100010745-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9b9e017e-9d8d-4c85-be35-1e73dc6b0904.png?v=1791764695","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010745-secondhand-liberalism-in-nineteenth-century-europe","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
