title = {Re-imagining the Public Sphere in the Long Nineteenth Century},
year = {2024},
note = {The crisis afflicting political discourse in many western democracies 
today is often explained in terms of a fragmentation of the  public
sphere. This volume critically probes the legacy of Jürgen 
Habermas’s ground-breaking study The Structural Transformation  of
the Public Sphere and considers how the more recent work of  the
Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor can help us conceptualise  the
formation of the public sphere as part of a new social  imaginary in
the long nineteenth century. Whereas scholars have  traditionally
approached the topic in terms of the history of institutions  and
technology, this volume considers the vital role played by  art and
literature in shaping our understanding of the public sphere  across a
range of national and transnational settings. How did the  way the
public sphere is imagined change during the long nineteenth  century?
And how can these changes be mapped against  a transition from a
cosmopolitan concept of the public sphere to  one conditioned by
nationalistic thinking?},
