“Jargon-free and accessibly written, with translations provided throughout, a careful glossary of terms, and a targeted bibliography following each chapter, it strikes just the right balance between comprehensive overview and penetrating digest, and will appeal as much to an interested non-specialist reader as a specialist. … Dodd provides the perfect amount to encourage further independent research and reading.” (Kirstin Gwyer, Modern Language Review, Vol. 114 (3), July, 2019)“Dodd has written an important book. It should be on any reading list of key works on German history and thought over the last two centuries.” (Joachim Whaley, Journal of European studies, Vol. 48 (3-4), November, 2018) ​
