In its careful attention to the issue of national identity formation during a crucial period of German history, "Popularizing the Nation" is an important contribution to modern German intellectual, political, and publishing history. But the book has a larger significance as well. Belgum's examination of the Gartenlaube's often contradictory images of the German nation--tradition-bound and modernizing, liberal and fervently nationalistic, enlightened and sentimental--provides crucial insights into the complex problems and processes of constructing national identity. "Popularizing the Nation" is a revelatory account of modern nationalism and its close relationship to mainstream journalism.
