"Nationalism and Revolution in Europe, 1763-1848 offers a fresh perspective on the rise and spread of nationalism in Europe and its relation to revolutionary movements. Adopting an intellectual history approach, Kostantaras shows that the phenomenon was more variegated, polyvalent, and multicentric then previously appreciated. This book is a must-read for all students of nationalism and revolution." - Dr. Thomas W. Gallant, Professor of Modern Greek History & Archaeology, University of California, San Diego   "Especially geared towards those with cultural and linguistic interests, Dean Kostantaras has produced a learned and sophisticated examination, drawn from examples  over nine decades of European history, about the origin of the concept of ‘the nation’." - James J. Sack, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Illinois at Chicago
