Edited by Justin Wintle, this authoritative reference work chronicles the lives and legacies of the most influential figures across literature, philosophy, music, science, politics, and the visual arts, spanning the turbulent period from the Napoleonic era to the eve of the First World War.\n\nWintle assembles a distinguished cast of contributors to produce concise yet incisive entries that illuminate not only individual careers but the interconnected intellectual currents that defined an epoch. The work argues, implicitly but powerfully, that the nineteenth century was not a prelude to modernity but its very crucible — the forge in which the defining tensions of democracy, industry, nationalism, and aesthetic revolt were hammered into shape. Published by Routledge \u0026amp; Kegan Paul, this volume stands as an indispensable companion for anyone seeking to understand how one extraordinary century of human endeavour continues to reverberate through our own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160820719835,"sku":"2026200011655-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c1656e7c-1c4f-4df1-b759-6975de77b11c.png?v=1787187783","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011655-secondhand-makers-of-nineteenth-century-culture-1800-1914","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
