Synopsis
This book examines the intense conflicts between Catholics and anticlerical forces that arose across nineteenth-century Europe as constitutional and democratic nation-states emerged. These 'culture wars' impacted nearly every aspect of social life, from education and the press to marriage and national symbols. Breaking from conventional approaches, this work places developments in specific states within a broader European and comparative context, offering a fresh perspective on these formative modern conflicts.
