Friedrich Gentz 17641832 eBook

This extraordinarily rich study of Friedrich Gentz, an important figure in post-enlightenment European history, amplifies and corrects the conventional image of Gentz as "Europes Secretary." Using new sources from the Herterich Gentz Collection in Cologne and from archives throughout Europe, the author describes Friedrich Gentzs networks around the world along with the diversity and visionary nature of Gentzs oeuvre and thinking.
