"To be modern may mean many different things, but for nineteenth-century Europeans
'modernity' suggested a new form of life in which bourgeois activities, people, attitudes
and values all played key roles. Jerrold Seigel's panoramic new history offers a magisterial
and highly original account of the ties between modernity and bourgeois life, arguing
that they can be best understood not in terms of the rise and fall of social classes,
but as features of a common participation in expanding and thickening 'networks of
means' that linked together distant energies and resources across economic, political
and cultural life. Exploring the different configurations of these networks in England,
France and Germany, he shows how their patterns gave rise to distinctive forms of
modernity in each country and shaped the rhythm and nature of change across spheres
as diverse as politics, money and finance, gender relations, morality, and literary,
artistic and musical life"--
