Produktbeschreibung
This collection provides a long-overdue examination of the nineteenth century as a crucible of new commemorative practices. Distinctive memory cultures emerged during this period which would fundamentally reshape public and private practices of remembrance in the modern world. The essays in this volume bring together scholars of History, Literature, Art History, and Musicology to explore uses of memory in nineteenth-century empire-building and constructions of national identity, cultures of sentiment and mourning practices, and discourses of race and power. Contributors approach the topic through case studies of Europe, the United States, and the British Empire. Their analyses of nineteenth-century innovations in commemoration at both the personal and the larger civic and political levels will appeal to students and scholars of memory and of the nineteenth-century world.

Rezensionen
"This collection provides a foundation for the understanding of commemoration in the modern world. The interdisciplinarity of this study broadens this understanding through connections to consumption, nationhood, race, and gender." (Lisa Kasmer, Journal of British Studies, Vol. 61 (1), January, 2022)
