Perceptions of collective mentalities influenced a variety of political and economic debates, ranging from anti-absolutist polemic in eighteenth-century France to appraisals of socialism in Edwardian Britain. Romani argues that the eighteenth-century notion of \"national character\", with its stress on climate and government, evolved into a concern with the virtues of \"public spirit\" irrespective of national traits, in parallel with the establishment of representative institutions on the Continent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613271015575,"sku":"9780521024266","price":6838.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521024266.webp?v=1775083901","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/national-character-and-public-spirit-in-britain-and-france-1750-1914-9780521024266","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
